Doug Bucci

Doug Bucci, a metals and jewelry artist and professor at Tyler, spoke to the foundation students on Tuesday. His main focus was that technology liberated him from physical constraints. As a metal worker, he was limited to what he was able to physical make, but digital imaging and 3D printing eliminated those shackles.

I found this lecture pretty inspiring. Not only did he not try and force the technology factor, he was comical as well. He touched on so many things that have been running through my mind with foundations year, especially because I'm now wait-listed and behind... It was pretty reassuring. Not to mention he made metalwork look awesome and I'm thinking of taking a class in it next year.
