Despite the late hours I’ve been spending in the studio, I’ve also been playing around with a twitter account. You can follow my twitter account here! It’s mostly photos of in progress critters, along with random observations and so forth. Now then, back to the studio.
Show at Sweetwater Center for the Arts – Today!
I’ll be having a couple of pieces in a pretty exciting show in Sewickly, PA. The show is called “The Day after Tomorrow”, and consists of the work of five artists – . I’m really excited about it, but won’t be able to make it back to PA for the opening, which will be today, Friday, March 6th. I’d put off posting it until I could find links for the other artist in the show. I think it was worth it, it looks like there’s going to be some really cool stuff!
Here’s the the other artists:
Michael Angelotti – Really incredible beautiful organic crystalline glaze forms. Picture the most awesome geode ever, crossed with what you encountered last time you cleaned out the fridge.
Jae Yong Kim – I just linked to her profile at the Pittsburgh Society for Contemporary Craft. Her piece there is an incredable wall installation of giant platinum snails.
Vince Palacios – a beautiful investigation of simple forms, with pieces that could be either teapots or machined parts for large machines. They’re covered completley in intricate detailed decals and underglaze.
Gregory Byard is also in the show, but I couldn’t find a website for him.
Anyway, if you’re in the are, check it out! It promises to be an excellent show!
Woodfiring coming up
I have a woodfiring coming up in less than three weeks. Since I only fire three times a year, this is a pretty big deal. I’ve been stressing a bit about getting enough done. I’ll be putting in extra studio time on nights and weekends.
However, I’m pretty excited about some of the work that I have coming up. I’ve already taken start to finish timelapse of about 4 pieces, though I’ll have to wait until after the firing to compile the videos. Here’s a sneak peek at some of the piece I’ve been working on.
Saturday Show at Madera Gallery
I’d mention this show a while ago, and before I knew it, it’s almost the opening!
This Saturday from 3pm to 8pm, stop by Madera Woodworking in Tacoma, WA, to explore an amazing collection of Northwest Woodfire. The opening is longer than normal to accommodate everyone who might wander by. I’ll probably be at the gallery between 5 and 8. I think I’ll even try and finally explore Tacoma’s famous glass museum!
The line up for the show looks incredible: John Benn, Colleen Gallagher, John Harris, Sam Hoffman, Terry Inokuma, Chris Knapp, Jen Lee, Andy Lewis-Lechner, Susan Lochner, Hiroshi Ogawa, Reid Ozaki, Erin Solberg, and Natalie, Warrens.
I’m also going to be using the show to unveil “Glowback”, a creature that I’ve been working on for a while. I teamed up with my husband to wire up LEDs and a microcontroller to cause the back of the beast to glow. I have an entire flickr set up documenting the whole process. If all goes as planned, we’ll finish up the last bit of work tonight, and I’ll take it to the gallery tomorrow.

More pieces for sale!
Since I’d pretty much sold out of work, I went to retrieve some pieces from a few of my galleries. I now have more pieces avaliable for sale online! Check them out here!
