2024 Artaxis fellow<\/a>, which provides funding so that she can attend a two-week summer workshop at the renowned Haystack Mountain School of Crafts in Maine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cI always thought I would be observing but not participating,\u201d she said. \u201cI never considered myself an artist.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fabrigas grew up next door to Palomar College and took classes there while she was in high school. In 2014, she earned her bachelor\u2019s degree in art history from the University of California at Irvine. After a two-year stint teaching English in Japan, she decided to pursue a master\u2019s degree in art restoration with the career goal of becoming a museum curator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2020, she took some courses at Palomar College to qualify for the master\u2019s program and took a ceramics class on a whim. Although she couldn\u2019t create much during the online class held during the pandemic, Fabrigas said Ceramics Faculty Member Sasha Koozel Reibstein encouraged her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe said I should dedicate more time to this,\u201d Fabrigas said. \u201cIt was eye-opening and surprising to me because I never thought I would be in the fine arts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After several semesters, the ceramics classes that Fabrigas was taking called to her more than her chemistry and archeology courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI wanted ceramics to be more of a priority,\u201d she said. \u201cIt was kind of a slow build over a few semesters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fabrigas attributes the blossoming of her passion for ceramics to Koozel Reibstein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI love Sasha. She\u2019s so great,\u201d Fabrigas said. \u201cHer assignments encouraged the conceptual with me. She\u2019s always pushing me to build bigger and think about the concept behind what I\u2019m making.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fabrigas said she creates ceramic sculptures and wearable art such as chest plates and helmets. Her work has been featured in a student art exhibition and led to another internship at the Anderson Ranch art center in Colorado.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fabrigas is now working as a technical assistant in the ceramics department. Her goal is to earn a Masters in Fine Arts and work as a ceramic artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI feel so grateful for Palomar College. My life would not be what it is today,\u201d Fabrigas said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
