technical tuesday: Johnson Tsang


I’ve seen a fair amount of images of Johnson Tsang’s work in the past but I had no idea of the amazing blog that he writes where he generously shares step by step process information for his amazing sculptures. I’m sure you will be as floored as I was when you take a look through his website: johnsontsang.wordpress.com. I was especially interested in seeing how he gets some of those precarious sculptures in and out of the kiln. Inspiring for sure. From idea to gallery installation he shares it all with us. Prepare to be blow away.

Want to be featured as an emerging artist on musing? All you have to do is send me some images, a brief write up if you’d like, and a website if you have it to [email protected] If you could put emerging artist in the subject header of the email so it doesn’t get lost in my spam folder that would be great. Thanks!
