My new studio in Barcelona is slowly coming along. After many tiring hours I have finished painting my shelves. Now I have to put together the shelving unit, along with 4 tables. I hope to have images of a finished studio soon!

Slowly Discovering Barcelona
Two months have passed since my last day at the Museum of Arts and Design, but I have only had a week to sit back and reflect on my time there. During the past two months I packed up my life in New York and transported it to Barcelona, Spain. Leaving a city so full of life was difficult, but I can't wait to be influenced by my new home.
During my residency at MAD I used Central Park as my inspiration for a new line of jewelry. I collected a variety of leaves, twigs, buds and seeds from the Park. Each piece of jewelry was inspired by a specific natural element. For instance, I based a brooch on the dried veins of a leaf, a pair of earrings on the frayed edge of a blade of grass, and a necklace on the linear form of a twig.
(Finished pieces from this new line of jewelry are on display on the 6th floor at the Museum of Arts and Design and on my website at this link: http://yashabutler.com/section/211499_Stem.html)
In Barcelona, I want to continue the creative exploration that I began in New York. I have already started to collect visual snapshots from around the city. Having grown up along the Mediterranean, I'm thrilled to be reunited with the sea and sun again. I spend a lot of time on the cold winter beach, recording images of water and sand. I have also been staring out over roof tops, photographing the city 6 stories above the ground.
Above, I posted some photographs taken this week.Thursday, January 27, 2011
Barcelona
Three weeks ago I landed in beautiful Barcelona. After a couple weeks of disorientation, I am now slowly getting a feel for the city. Having closed the New York chapter of our life only a month ago, it is exciting to be creating a whole new life here in Spain. We are still waiting for our furniture and my studio equipment to arrive. But, we already found a new resting spot for my Off Circle bowls and a light filled studio for me to work in!!
