Doug Bucci Lecture

The latest lecture in the series was by far the best. Doug Bucci, a jewelry designer and Tyler Instructor, came to speak to us about his field of work, and how he got to where he is today. I thought everything he had to say was extremely helpful. One of the most interesting thing I thought he said was that  being an artist is all about finding opportunities and seizing these opportunities. After graduating college, BFA from UARTS and MFA from Tyler, Bucci worked in the industry at Bailey Banks and Biddle until he had enough of a nest egg to start his own studio. From there he started his own business. Now he has designed jewelry from medals for Prince Andrew to bling for jackass stars. He has also collaborated with artist Jeff Koons and fashion designer Stella McCartney for a jewlery line based off of Koon's Rabbit.
