Apologies as I’ve neglected my blog for some time now.
I thought I would just post some pictures of the various things I’ve been up to.
I am currently very busy teaching but also trying to prepare for as many as FOUR art fairs!
That is my first and most exciting news: I’ve been accepted into the following fairs:
The 57th Street Art Fair June 5 & 6
Krasl on the Bluff in St. Joseph Michigan July 10 & 11
The Kohler in Sheboygan Wisconsin July 17 & 18 and
The Powderhorn Park Art Fair in Minneapolis August 7 & 8 !
Also I am lucky enough to be working again with the 6th graders at Murphy School to finish our Mosaic Time Line. This year we are doing: Feudal Japan, the Renaissance and the Age of Exploration.
and for the Age of Exploration a globe with a ship sailing on it.
Whenever I get any chunk of time, I am making work for the fairs. I am excited about the images I’ve recently carved on some salad plates and casseroles.
(I’m so mad I cropped off the bottom of the plate when I was shooting!)
Here’s another plate- this shape was inspired by a great plate I bought from Bob Briscoe

and I want to do more of these! Perspective

Lastly, I am currently in a faculty show at Lill Street. It opened May 1.
This is one of my Kelp Vases and it was Soda Fired which was just the right treatment for that surface.
Stop by and see it in person as well as all the other amazing work by my colleagues at Lill!
and I’ve put animals in there for the first time

You can see the nest in the bigger picture- I made it, it’s a soap dish! I’m trying to get some egg-shaped soap.
Also, either I’m getting better at installation or my daughter, who helped me for the first time, was just incredibly good. There was no swearing! Everything went smoothly!
