“During AIS with Art Koeninger, one student, in particular, grew both creatively and in skill. This student is a senior at Flex and found a personal connection with the metalwork, tools, and techniques acquired in class. He created multiple art and jewelry pieces during the Artist in the School residency, demonstrating a personal style and voice through his art. He took that creative exploration home with him and continued to create art using found metal – cans, recycled foil, etc – and turning them into flowers and other objects of beauty. He is currently looking at ways to fund his continuation of learning in silver-smithing. This includes looking for funding resources to train with Art Koeninger during the future.”
