Young Antiguan reconnects with her roots as she looks to improve her craft
By Theresa Goodwin
A young Antiguan artist is reconnecting with her roots and is currently doing some extensive research in the area of pottery to incorporate more of her West Indian culture into her budding career.
Twenty-five-year-old Chelsea McMaster has spent the past two weeks visiting a number of local potteries in the hope of learning about the type of work that goes into many of the traditional pieces that are on display around the island.
McMaster is a ceramic artist based in Reading, Pennsylvania. She has earned an Associate’s Degree in Graphic Design and a Bachelor of Arts from Millersville University in Pennsylvania, and currently works at Google Works Centre of Arts, teaching workshops and classes.
