"Where I might diverge from conventional studio pedagogy is in the value I
place on absorption in the artmaking process. I ask students to identify
those aspects of working where they are most engaged with process. Such
moments surely correlate to students' greatest pleasure in forming the
work, and provide them with a starting point in in deciding what
subsequent changes might be made to their working methods."

- Buzz Spector, book artist and educator, November 2004
