Days for Aberdeen Class Seminar Arrive

I arrive in Aberdeen and set up the classroom.

You see along the wall under the windows I set up assembly style.







After a brief lecture about glass in general and about points specific to fusing...the students make a tile.






After much dilemma over kiln issues...no plug after all, for my huge kiln I brought along..a borrowed kiln that essentially wouldn't heat up well...I pushed the little quick fire I brought along to handle the many fuses of the day and here are the students results.
Bails attached and ready to send to them...this about 1/2 of the class projects..at the time the others were in different stages of completion.

All in all I think the students had a great day!

3 other artist involved were
a couple: Nick and Nichole Fisher represented murals
Rocky Hartberg for Story Illustration
Michelle Bacon on Ceramics

Judging workshop with Nathen Cantwell and Emily Williams Wheeler
key note speaker: Brad Bachmeier


We had a full 2 days...it went smoothly and I think everyone teachers included came away with information to ponder.

:)

Headed to Aberdeen...

35 pieces of artwork, most of what has been watched progress on the blog...representing nearly every discipline I study.

I was surprised when I packed all the work into the vehicle that I had this much to offer the museum for this show. It worried me a lot, I didn't think I had very many pieces to resent a single artist show.

Plus I didn't finish the couple of dramatic pieces in time for this show, I am disappointed with myself for not making the time to finish them.
Maybe they might want me to show again in a couple of years.

I will be 3 days behind in the soul journal now... :(
I have kept up really well considering I start these things and get sidetracked.

I will definitely go down the list when I get back though and check every ones progress.. :-)

So off to Aberdeen to the Dachota Prairie Museum I go....

//// (waving atcha)

It is Wednesday morning and I just peeked at Sarah's blog and she posted the list for pg 3/4 that I took my notes for but, a point I picked up she made, is not being influenced from seeing other work...to make it for sure my own I won't peek at the pages from the participants on her list until I post my spreads
and that will be later than everyone
since I am already 2 days behind...tomorrow will make 4...
being away from the studio is saddening...
but I can ponder and prepare for how I will go about creating the spreads when I get back...

Happy Creating...
