I have had a pretty busy Summer unfortunatley it has not all been with my hands in the mud.  I really have no excuse for not updating this blog with more in the past, but will make an effort to do so in the future.  This past summer I worked on converting our garage into a studio.  I built a wedging table and installed some shelves for drying my greenware.  After that was completed I happily started throwing pots.

School started again and its off to the races.  I will be doing my BFA show this Fall, the time is short and I only have a couple months to finish all my work (you know what I was supposed to be doing all summer long).  I will try to take some pictures of my progress and post them here.  The clay I will be using has finally matured and has been wedged and bagged and is now waiting for me to start sculpting.  It was fun to mix and prepare.  I had Esperanza my daughter and her friend mixing it with their feet while I dumped the clays and grog onto the tarp, they had a great time.

Wow it has been quite a while since I have done any updates on this site…  At least any that you can see.  The server has been upgraded and the back-end of the site as well.  Since all of that is done, for now, I am going to post some of my work in progress.  I have been working with slip cast molds and with handbuilding.

Well I have been back from NCECA for a couple of weeks now, but have been too busy to write anything as of yet. I will probably post more of a commentary on it when I get some time to breathe. I’ll just post a couple of pictures for now, to wet your appetite.

***UPDATE***

I have finally gotten around to posting my NCECA pictures, you can visit them here.
