Andrea Ramsay was raised in Northern California, hiking and exploring the Sierra’s.
She earned a degree in Anthropology from the University of Washington and worked in technology until 2014 when she traded in her laptop for a chisel.
She attended The Port Townsend School of Woodworking and completed the Woodworking Intensive Program in spring 2015.
After returning to Seattle she set up her own workshop and began building custom woodwork while working at Pratt Fine Arts Center.
In 2016 she joined the John Grade Studio and helped build and install MiddleFork, now at Seattle Art Museum. She now manages The Grade Studio and leads the team through conception, fabrication and installation of large scale sculptural pieces around the world.
Please join us October 14th at Seattle Pacific University. Andrea will be talking about talk about work she has led and been part of at The GradeStudio, her education, and work outside the studio and installation of large scale sculpture.
