The UVU Ceramic Artist Association will be holding their Semi-Annual Pottery Sale December 7 & 8, 2009.  The sale will be held in the Ceramics Studio (GT 340) on the UVU Campus.  Work will be sold by CAA members and invited guests.  I hope you can join us for the sale.  I will have some of my work available for purchase at the sale.

The BFA show has now been up for a week.  We have had some pretty good feedback and the opening reception went well last night.  Thank you to those who were able to attend.  For those who couldn’t you missed a great time.  The show will be up for another week, through the 19th of November.  For those who are too far away I have posted picture of my work in the gallery, they can be seen here.  Or you can click on the link to the right.

*Update: I have added pictures to the portfolio pages, even some of the older pages have added pictures.*

The school days are blazing by, they go so fast I do not think there is actually 24 hours in them anymore.  I have been working feverishly on my Senior Show.  The work was slow at first. I had to work through some problems with the clay body I mixed up.  Fortunately I was able to iron out those problems in a relatively short time.  Now I am in production mode, trying very hard to not to have any “Artists Blocks”.  I also began testing the vitreous engobes I will be using to cover my sculptures with.  So far the tests have been pretty successful.

In other news I submitted one of my finished sculptures to the Utah Arts Council: Statewide Annual Fine Crafts and Photography Show.  I received notice last week that the statue was accepted to the show, Inez and I will be going to the opening reception on the 16th of October.  I am really looking forward to this.  Only 1/3 of the submitted pieces were accepted into the show.  This is the first show outside of the student shows at the college that I have submitted work to.  I will post pictures from the open house.
