A Delicate Balance: The Art and Teaching of Joyce Michaud A Delicate Balance, a Holden Brothers film, offers an intimate view into Joyce Michaud's approach to creating, learning, teaching, and living: "I don't think I could have survived without using the creative problem-solving skills in life as I use as an artist!" As founder and Director of Hood College's Ceramic Arts Program and international teacher and lecturer, Joyce has transformed her personal need to inform her creative intuition with aesthetic and technical knowledge into a mission to teach others. This film documents the process of Joyce's evolution - impelled as much by life's circumstances as by her conscious artistic decisions - to provide an inspiring and instructive portrait of a creative life. Film premiere at 3:30pm on March 28, 2010 at Hand Thrown: East Asian Wedged Coil, an exhibition of work by Joyce Michaud and others using the East Asian Wedged coil technique. Washington County Museum of Fine Arts Fulton Gallery, Hagerstown, MD Offered for purchase spring 2010. Please contact info@joycemichaudgallery.com for details.
