In this episode of the Ed Gap Evolution podcast, we are speaking with ceramics artist and creative art therapist (LCAT-LP), Nala Turner. And if you’re wondering what a creative art therapist is, then listen to this episode now to find out!
Nala is a Lead Art Therapist working with youth at The Animation Project (TAP).
The Animation Projects is a non-profit therapeutic workforce development program unlocking the professional and creative door for NYC young people with drive and animation talent. The organization develops New York City youth for the local animation industry through software training and prepares them with personal and professional development.
TAP’s youth have gone on to work with companies like Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Blue Sky Studios, Dreamworks, and HBO, to name a few.
Throughout the episode, we discuss:
- The four main 3D animation programs that TAP offers
- The multitude of careers/creative paths that stem from the animation pipeline
- Segregated schools in Nala’s hometown, St. Louis, Missouri
- How Nala marries the worlds of art and psychology to raise funding for youth programs in order to make a greater impact
- The unparalleled benefit of choosing clay as an art medium for expression and healing
- And so much more
You’ll also learn about Nala’s online ceramics store Carlynne Ceramics, and get the scoop on a FREE, ceramics class that Nala leads at Artshack Brooklyn called “Intro To Wheels for POC Teens”.
