BLAZING EASELS

About the Instructors:

Amanda Hall (she/her/hers) is a senior studying Art Education at Appalachian State. She has been a Blazing Easels Instructor since 2022. In her practice she mostly works with alternative process photography and pottery. In her work she focuses on bridging the gap between beautiful and functional objects. Amanda is curious about exploring all mediums, and that’s why she loves facilitating the Blazing Easels workshops! The students have an investigative approach to art making that inspires her. Amanda believes that we always have space to learn and grow from our experiences, and is excited for new art making opportunities in the classroom and beyond. 

Jillian Seversky (they/them/theirs) has facilitated Blazing Easel’s since 2022, and is currently a Junior at Appalachian State University studying Art Education and Art History. In their art practice they concentrate on 3 dimensional art such as pottery, mixed media, and found object art but also really enjoy 2D mediums such as watercolor and drawing ect. Furthermore Jillian is passionate about accessibility to all through and within art making. Themes that arise in Jillian’s art the santinty of everyday objects and experiences and where time and feeling intersect. They feel strongly about the role of art as an essential part of people’s lives no matter age or experience level. Jillian hopes to create a safe and welcome space here at App State and in their classroom after they graduate where people can make.
