Teaching

Garcia has taught ceramics for the better part of eleven years. Actually, teaching has been a large part of his own learning process. Finding ways in which clay can embody one's vision and then to pass that creative process to someone else and feed their creative inspiration expands Garcia’s mind. By being around inspired people creates an energy that cannot be found internally. Garcia does enjoy the self-exploration of his own psyche, but there is nothing akin to the give-and-take that is unleashed in a teaching situation. Currently teaching his peers in Williamsburg area of Brooklyn, NY, Garcia feels there is nothing more challenging, profound and gratifying than to be an artist teaching artists.
