What does community mean to you?

I’ve been thinking a lot about this and what it means for Pratt Fine Arts Center.

We try to be thoughtful and authentic in our messaging at Pratt – to reflect and project an honest voice that represents the organization’s identity. In order to maintain that, there is an ongoing quest to learn how we are perceived by the people who know us. And without fail, every time we ask stakeholders to describe Pratt, they talk about “community” as a defining attribute. But what does that really mean?

I think for most people, when they say “community”, they are reflecting on their engagement with people within Pratt during their time spent here – experiencing values such as generosity, inclusiveness, collaboration, and positive social interaction.

That is perhaps to say: at Pratt, we have a strong sense of community.

But is that conclusion too internalized? And if it sounds

at all exclusive, are we failing to say what we mean? I’m not sure it’s enough to describe the community within without also articulating how our sense of community radiates outward.

We do not operate in a bubble.

We know that we play a role within a larger arts ecosystem and we actively support our peer organizations. We are proud to be engaged participants in neighborhood activities and advocates for local initiatives.

We continue to forge organizational partnerships and apply resources for shared benefit.

These are just a handful of the ways we think outside of ourselves on a daily basis.

That is perhaps to say: at Pratt, we are part of a strong community.

In order for Pratt to grow and evolve in a way that is relevant and meaningful to the public, it has to be engaged with and influenced by what’s happening outside our walls. We must simultaneously foster community and be fostered by it. This subtle shift in articulation truly makes “community” at Pratt mean so much more.

Cheers,

Steve Galatro Executive Director

Jeanne Marie Ferraro INTERVIEW WITH

BY HEATHER OLSON

“

Growing up in a city which had many voices, I found that listening to the stories that people told through their body movements and facial expressions became my way of learning about the world, about my fellow humans and the way they live. From an early age, listening became a visual experience. I wanted my art to physicalize the stories I hear, to express the nuances my subjects lives and the way their personal stories represent all people.

LEARN MORE about Jeanne on her website: www.jeanneferraro.com

@PM: When did you first

start making art?

JMF: I started when I was

really young. When I was in kindergarten, I drew a picture of a farm, with a pond with a duck in it. I enjoyed making it a lot. My teacher hung it up in the hallway. I didn’t know she was going to do that and it freaked me out. To this day, whenever my work is on display, I get a little freaked out. But I love doing it.

@PM: You have a wonder-

ful depth and breadth of experience working and teaching at Pratt. What are your favorite parts?

JMF: I really love teaching.

I like teaching a variety of things. I’ve taught glass blowing the longest, and then figure drawing. I have also taught figure sculpture, kiln casting, mold making and pate de verre. I was the first person at Pratt to teach pate de verre, and Delores Taylor,

”

who teaches it now, was one of my students. It was a new course then—I had studied it in graduate school and when I started teaching there were not a lot of books on it (I had translated the 19th century information on Pate de Verre in 1990 as part of my masters). Now there are many, and I’m not in any of them. I’m not very selfpromoting—I’m an artist first and then a teacher, but I’m better known as a teacher. My work sells better when I’m not there.

I get shy.

18

P R A T T All the arts are attached.

In the making of glass, we work in teams. Glass artists can be separated from the rest of the art community because of the intensity and the hours, and it’s already a community. So many other art forms are not team-based so there is a lot of separation among artists. Even when I was an undergrad, I wanted them to come together. I kept pushing for that because I needed it for myself. I can’t blow glass all the time—it’s very expensive. But I need to make things, every day.

My nature is to be curious, so I got myself through 12 years of art school by learning many different things and becoming part of different groups.

I was an artists’ model in college and I learned a lot about drawing that way—about the aesthetics and the mechanics, and the materials. My film teacher needed a hand and wanted people to do dangerous parts that no one else wanted to do. I wasn’t afraid so I got to use the 16mm cameras without having to take the class. I got a lot of education by being the person who wanted it the most. I take on people as apprentices, and I invite students to sit in on classes because I know they will learn and explore.

Gloria

I went to the Chicago Art Institute postbaccalaureate and I became an assistant to Susanna Coffey who is an incredible painter, and I was able to study with her. I learned a lot about aesthetics and materials, and how to make work successful. I went to Kent State for seven years, Chicago for three years and Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) for two years. I taught at four colleges and was head of the glass department at Sheridan College.

So, I have a very strong background in teaching.

@PM: What do you do when

you’re not here at Pratt?

JMF: I also teach at the

Northwest School. It’s my fifth year there. It’s a small private school with 500 students from 6th to 12th grade. They do a lot of crossover between the grades and they have an environmental program there where the students take care of and clean up the school.

They learn sustainability and take ownership of their environment.

That’s one of the things that attracted me to the school. In the environment teams there are all ages

Because of my affiliation with Pratt, I have opportunities where I can have kids do bronze casting also. We can go through the entire process of mold making, wax casting, and then metal or glass casting.

It enriches what the students can do.

I’ve started teaching some stone carving also. We use soapstone which is great because it’s soft and non-toxic. It’s native to Washington so we can talk about its history and the relationship to first nation people here also. I had Anthony Kaufman come in as a guest speaker, and we have done 3D printing also. I can really cover a large gamut because of the Pratt connections.

Returning

First Love

I also teach senior citizens in the Central District on Fridays. The students are awesome! I have worked at Silver Kite, which Cait Willis is working with now. They go to different locations to teach seniors. I’ve also taught at 5th Avenue Glass Studios and Pilchuck. Ed Schmidt is encouraging me to write a book. I’ve seen many mistakes in glassblowing and have many tricks on how to fix them. The book will be called Jeannie’s Little Book of Tricks. I’m going to start working on that soon, hopefully this summer.

Something is unfulfilled.

They take an art class and I get them in beginning drawing and glassblowing.

I ask them when they last drew or made art and they tell me 20 years ago. My job is to not just teach them to draw, but to fall in love with making art again.

And to get rid of that piece of garbage that has grown inside their heart. That is a beautiful thing. I get to see that happen! They bloom again. They tell me I’m lucky that I never left art.

That’s when I show them my shoes and say, “Look at these! Here you go.

Put on your apron and get to work.”

I teach students how to incorporate art into their lives so they don’t get that sad again. I tell them to start with five minutes a day. Try all different times of day and see what works best for you. Then when you find it, that five minutes will grow. And you have to tell them that they don’t suck. Those who used to be really good and haven’t done it for a long time can get frustrated. I draw every night before I go to bed. Sometimes it’s just five minutes.

Sometimes it’s until 3am.

First I have to get everyone else’s art problems out of my head, and I do that by drawing and making my own work. I have to stop being the teacher and become the artist when I have my own time. I tell my
