in the studio :: artist kenneth

Welcome to In The Studio, a place to show off your studio and meet some great artists! Last week I started featuring our artists from The Village Store. It truly is such a privilege to be able to feature some amazing talent.

Today I introduce you to Kenneth. Kenneth first met some of our Ten Thousand Homes crew in 2010. He grew up with his mom and siblings. About two months ago, he moved onto University Village to do our work scholarship program for the discipleship school we run. He works on our grounds Monday through Friday, but he’s not just good with a lawnmower. No, there’s a creative side underneath there, too.

I’m quite fascinated with bead and wire art. It’s an intricate process of shaping each piece and then wrapping it in beads. Kenneth is quite the master of it. Isn’t his work beautiful? This is only a sampling of what he can do. My favorites are the African animals. 🙂

Kenneth loves working with his hands, but when I asked him his dreams, his answer was quick. He loves music and dreams of one day having a recording studio where young people can come and record music. I believe it can happen, Kenneth!

Now it’s your turn! Remember your “studio” can be anywhere. Let’s celebrate each other’s creativity by linking up and visiting as many as the other studios as you can. Check out the about post for more info and don’t forget to grab the In The Studio button!
