Erna Piechna
Erna, thank you very much for doing the interview with us today. Since your background was initially working with glass, can you share with us a little bit about your own artistic journey over the years, and your development as both an artist and a teacher?​
When you first started working with Silver Clay, how challenging was it for you to work with this new medium? Did it open a lot of doors of possibilities for you?​
Does working with the two completely different media inspire you to develop as an artist in both areas?
Where do you draw your inspiration to create from?​
As a teacher and educator, you have said that your primary focus is to be a communicator. What is it that you wish to communicate to your students about discovering self expression and what do you try to communicate through your own artistic works?
