I am back on the wheel! It's been two years and I totally forgot how much I missed it. I'm throwing with raku clay for the alternative firing project. It is so much fun to be back on the wheel, especially when it is sunny out. But, it is really hard. I have lost so much and I can't exactly do everything as easily as before. But I'm excited to see where I can go. Summer is almost here. Egads!! :)

So I really should have done this earlier than now, but now I am trying to back up and do what I should be doing. Time for a make-up blog. Thought I'd take a look at the guest artist we have coming super soon.
His name is Pat Horsley and he is a pretty radical potter. I really like how his work is done of the wheel, but uses a lot of architectural elements. I am really excited to see what he can do! His glaze applications are also really awesome.

So all of my pieces are done and photographed and I couldn't be happy. I am super excited to work with clay again and I am also super excited about getting my portfolio grade back in July. These are some of my favorite fish the way they photographed, especially the yellow one right above right now is my favorite of them all. I'm giving it to my mom for Mother's Day.

Can't believe that the year is almost over. I'm gonna miss this class so much.

iM dOnE?????

I never actually thought that this day would come, but I'm done with my concentration!!! My work ended up in a totally different direction than I had originally wanted, but it sorta worked out. [As long as certain people...Peter...don't eat the teeth :)] Anyway, I am actually really glad that I took this class because I feel so good about what we have all acomplished as people and as artists. Super excited to get to work with clay again next week!! WOOOOT!!!

Go Pacers!!

Good luck with the showcase!!

I'm BaCk!!

So it's been a LOONNGGG time since I last blogged. I even forgot the url and took me forever to figure it out. Anyway, just because I haven't been blogging, doesn't mean I have not been making art! I'm actually getting really close. After I spend my entire weekend on it, my portfolio is going to be done on monday. It is scary to walk in my garage and be met with 24 eyes staring at me, but it's cool they are getting so close. Still struggling with the teeth... But it'll work out... :)

I super duper really sure that I hate AP tests. They are really stressful and should just go die.

And I'm really feel down in the dumps about art right now. It's no longer fun and it just seems like another chore that I have to do. That concerns me.

Dismal blog post. Ugh.

But I still love my AP buddies. Sleepover sooooon!

So I went to the LOSD Foundation Luncheon today and they wanted me to let y'all know that they are really proud of the work you have been doing in the studio! They said they are committed to working hard so we can keep the study and everything! You guys are awesome!! Remind your parents to donate if they can :)

Whitney, do we get NAHS hours for helping with the phone-a-thon? I'm getting worried about not getting enough hours...

In other news, I decided I am do an instilation with the fish on seperate blocks with seaweed-looking PVC pipe coming out of it. They will be able to be moved individually so that the art can be moved into different spaces.

Well... that's all folks.
