So I started my Blog eight months ago and I have not
published for seven of those months. I bit off more than I could chew. I have
been in a full time job, taking a night class for printmaking for two nights a
week, being part of a ceramics studio, making and selling art, and trying to
have a husband and a social life! </div>

especially when it comes to the human figure and face, and I want to publish
some of the items I have finished off of my list of artist goals from a prior
post and discuss some of the great clay workshops I have participated in. Also
I need to update my Etsy shop!

Lynn Wood aka The Pottery Texture Queen <a href="http://potterytexturequeen.com/" target="_blank">http://potterytexturequeen.com</a>
is passionate about texture in her ceramic work. I took a workshop from
her about a year ago and it greatly influenced my work.<br />
<br />
Today I took
another workshop from her called Cups, Cups, Cups! As you might have guessed from
the name, the workshop focused on what makes a good cup. We explored
this idea with demonstrations and hands-on opportunities to try her
techniques for ourselves. With soft slabs we made cups and many types of
handles. We left with helpful tips and templates to try in our own work. I
am looking forward to trying what I learned today in the near future and sharing it
with you.<br />
<br />
Today's workshop also means that another one of my 50 challenges (see my
second Blog entry) is complete...#19 make a cup. I maybe shouldn't count
it until it is glazed but I am doing it anyway!<br />
<br />
Lynn is such a great teacher, a fabulous artist, and a lot of fun. I would recommend taking a workshop from her if you get the chance. I hope she will start a blog of her own soon.<br />

One of my 50 challenges from my list is completed. I thought that sketching 100 fish would be simple as this is a motif I love to work with. Honestly it took longer than I expected and I struggled with continuing. I ended up getting some help from Google images to move faster as my brain wasn't giving me the variety I needed. Here is the collage of my sketchbook pages. This gives you a glimpse of the good, the bad and the ugly of my quick fish!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488877639937044936.post-32234646349377182512012-05-17T21:23:00.000-07:002012-05-17T21:23:50.128-07:00Visiting Sharon Virtue<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal;">A little over a year
ago I took a workshop with Sharon Virtue <span class="yshortcuts"><u><span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://virtuevision.org/">http://virtuevision.org/</a>
</span></u></span>at Clay Creations in Pacifica <a href="http://www.claycreationspacifica.com/" target="_blank">www.claycreationspacifica.com</a>
all about surface decoration on clay. Sharon was welcoming and informative. I
love to illustrate on clay, and I am a printmaker too so I found the workshop
to be very relevant and applicable to what I do with my art. She made such a
great impression on me that I have been a fan ever since. <a name='more'></a></span></h1>

<h1 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal;">Yesterday I went to
Ruby’s Clay Studio <a href="http://www.rubysclaystudio.org/" target="_blank"><span class="yshortcuts"><span style="color: blue;">www.rubysclaystudio.org</span></span></a>
in San Francisco to meet the exquisite Sharon again and to pick up my new rococo
inspired dish. I bought a small turquoise green rectangle plate with surface
decoration of a bird, a letter, a crown and flowers. I love the ornamentation
on the dish and the rich and vibrant glazing. While I was at Ruby’s Clay studio
I had the pleasure of seeing Sharon’s workspace and I was fortunate enough to
see some of her amazing work fresh from the kiln. All of her work is
incredible! </span></h1>
<h1 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; font-weight: normal; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> </span></h1>
<h1 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal;">The most imposing and
magnificent of the work was a large sculpture of a beautiful celestial woman
tattooed with mishima designs and layered with textural detailing. Her intensely
hued orange skin and eyes sparkled and she was vibrantly decorated and
multicolored with mauve, purples, greens, blues and more. If I could have
taken one home it would have been the bust of a pretty woman with brilliant
orange hair, exquisite features, porcelain skin, and adorned with lavender
clouds, coral and flowers. She was extraordinary! The women Sharon sculpts are kaleidoscopic
divinity. I could have looked at her work for hours but I had disturbed her
work time long enough and I had to get to printmaking myself, so I left. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></h1>

<h1 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal;">So that I can have
more opportunity to admire Sharon’s work, I plan to attend her show <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>with Tiffany Schmierer <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>at the Pence Gallery <a href="http://www.pencegallery.org/exhibit08.html#ts">http://www.pencegallery.org/exhibit08.html#ts</a>.
Both are San Francisco- based ceramicists who create sculpture full of color
and surface detail. Their work is skilled and complex and invites the viewer to
take a longer and deeper look at it. Sharon’s female figurative sculptures are
fabulous and I look forward to seeing more of her work up close and in person!</span></h1>

To keep myself focused (a bit), I made a challenge list in
my sketchbook. I combined a 30 Day Drawing Challenge page I found on Pinterest,
with this great book I found at the library called, <u>Drawing Lab for Mixed
Media Artists</u>, by Carla Sonheim, and a few of my own creative wants. Below
is the list I came up with. </div>

Our local art center has the 50/50 Show. The show is 50
works of art created in 50 days. I am not ready to enter this year so this is
my own version of the 50/50 show…it is 50 challengers and there is no time
limit. This is for personal growth as an artist. My list of 50 includes goals creatively,
with ceramics, drawing, painting, career, and printmaking. Feel free to follow
my list with me or make your own. I am
not going to necessarily work them in order. I look forward to sharing. Thanks
for following me. </div>

<span style="font-size: small;">The Peninsula Arts Council (<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.peninsulaartscouncil.org/" target="_blank">www.peninsulaartscouncil.org</a>)</span> </span>presented an Artist’s Workshop
last Tuesday evening on harnessing the power of social media for artists. The
speaker was a printmaker named Jamie Watson (<a href="http://www.pineappleluv.com/" target="_blank">http://www.pineappleluv.com</a>). She was very helpful and shared
her knowledge on how to get one’s art more visible through social media such as
Facebook, Pinterest, Etsy, Flicker, Twitter, Blogging, and more. I already use
Facebook, Pinterest, Etsy, and have a webpage for Pufferfish Press (<a href="http://www.pufferfishpress.com/" target="_blank">www.pufferfishpress.com</a>). However, I
do not blog. Today that changes. This is my attempt at creative karma. I will
share my creativity and experiences in the hopes of it coming back to me. I
have some Florence and the Machine playing and I have the house to myself on a
sunny Saturday evening…it is perfect. It is time to start.</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
