Art Fair Visitor

Okay! Last post of the day and then I really do have to keep working on animations...

Last week I was invited to attend a local elementary school art fair as a student artist! I was so excited to not only display work but also to get work DONE. 

Robot tiles - looks like a circuit board

I brought my ceramics homework with me to work on and started carving away at the robot tiles. I wanted to show the range of work I have produced in the last year and... lemme just say sometimes I really impress myself with output!

The kids' work was pretty impressive and I think I made some friends.. a few of the students got me a balloon flower from the Very. Scary. clowns at the fair. It was pretty funny - I brought my self portrait with my snake and the principal was getting queasy. 

"You're afraid of clowns but you're not afraid of snakes?!"

"Fear is relative, sir."

"Let's Photobomb her!"

and again...

 It was fun to meet some of the students at the elementary school - I even ran into some of my campers and their siblings! They were happy to hear craft lady will be back this summer :)

pretty sweet set up - right by the kitchen

 In addition to that I had been working on glaze experiments and I fired those this week. I am so pleased with the results!

Favorite ever - bottom center tile

another cool result

swirly twirly glazes

love the contrast on this one

Wow Wednesday... we are supposed to get -40 degree weather tomorrow. HOPING for a snow day so I can start to pack for break and organize my life a bit. This week has been nutty so far - two news stations visiting the gallery, glaze experiments, animation critiques... Sign me up for a day IN.

Until next time,
