Catching Up

My apologies for the long absence! The ceramics studio has been a busy place and the blog has fallen behind. A few things to note...

-The pictures below feature the work currently being shown at the Teacher and Student Invitational, Talisman Gallery, on Alberta.  The last picture features a figurative piece of mine that is showing next to the student work at the show. 

-In March, Oregon College of Arts and Crafts will be hosting their high school show which will include work from my classes as well as other art classes at Cleveland. 

-And finally, we have big news here! We received a grant from RACC! After studying the Willamette -River and watersheds from multiple angles, we will be putting on a fabulous juried show at the Disjecta Contemporary Art Gallery in Kenton, entitled, "Take Me to the River." We have already started work on the project and we're well on our way. The show starts in early April. Students will be exposed to prominent artists, authors, and other speakers that will help inform them, inspire them, and increase awareness as they work on their projects.

 Anya's sculptural piece was so large that it had to be fired in two separate pieces.

Zane's smoke fired coil pot with a masking tape resist.
