Getting ready for Studio Tour

Thu, 07 Jun 2007 04:56:14 GMT

Today, I think I finished all of my work. Now I'm cleaning my studio preparing for this weekends Studio Tour. I put a colored glaze inside my porcelain cups, which was an ordeal. Then I started to clean the studio. I have so much stuff, it sucks. Trying to find places to put everything, and wipping down tables. I got two of my tables cleaned off and wipped down. Now all I need to do is clean off my big round table and clean out my chair, but I'll do that tomarrow. A cool thing happened today on Myspace and the internet, my profile is now available to the public, how cool is that?

NEW WORK

Today I opened the kiln, I had fired it last night, inside was a whole shit load of new work. plates, tiles, dolls, and magnets. When I opened the kiln, I was super excited. When I was firing last night, I was working in the studio, cleaning and putting things away, at around 9:35 pm last night, the kiln shut off, I was so happy and joyful. It took televe hours for it to cool. I pulled beautiful things out, and it turns out that I'm going to have to refire most of it, because I didn't apply much glaze. This really doesn't bother me too much, I'm going to be doing another bisque, so I can just fire all my work together. I'm going to be posting pictures of my new work on Myspace soon.

Well, today it finally rained only a little bit. and I started cleaning out my studio. I have sooo much shit. I didn't know that I had so much. I'm still not finished cleaning. This summer like metioned before, is crazy, I have so much going on. But I am supper exceited about going to Penland to take classes. Another thing I'm exceited about is Warped Tour. I'm taking my boyfriend and his brother. I can't wait to start sculpting and creating new works.

Just finished tons of work

In the recent weeks I've been working my ass off to get ready for a two day public studio tour, and today I finished! Thank God! I have my kiln loaded and am ready to fire in the morning. The kiln is full, and I am excited to see what will come out, I loaded it from the bottom and went all the way to the top, so i can't wait to get it fired and see the end results. I am also trying to get myself into a habit of sculpting, but am not sure about how to do it right. I'm looking at other artists trying to pull apart their techniques and see what I can use. I am also trying to put together a cohesive body of sculpture work that I can work on when I have the time to do so. I am wanting to do a whole series of medium sized heads, maybe with small bodies attached to them, or do a whole series of dolls that haved been dipped in slip, and then glazed. In the coming months I'm going to be working on a large head with shoulders and arms holding small bowls, which have eggs inside them. I hope it works and turns out the way I want it to. My fingers are crossed. I'm not sure how I'm going to go about building it but, I'm sure I will figure out a way. The head and arms are going to be detachable as are the small bowls, that, are going to be pinch pots. I'm very exceited about attempting this peice.
