“I greatly enjoyed my residency at Buffalo Creek. The natural location was beautiful. The metal shops were well equipped and quite spacious. The living quarters were very comfortable. What made the residency exceptional however was neither the work nor living space but the presence of other friendly, wonderful artists. I love working in my own shop at home. The presence of other artists, and the dialogue that developed between us created a dynamic and unique energy.”
