Saturday Already?

 


     The Art Center looks lush and green this morning, the first Saturday of May. What's going on inside this calm exterior?



Waxing, glazing and spraying....Oh My!!!

Gina is ready for action

Marianne has figured out a way to get round pegs into square boxes...or something like that.

A quick dip...cha cha cha

I think this is how Earl Scheib started. Cindy can spray that pot for $29.95!

Two Turtles....No waiting

Thanks for sharing, Cindy.

Nita paints the kiln yard the hard way.

Happy Birthday, Heather!

What a great excuse to bring breakfast to class. Heather's birthday was a few weeks ago. We forced ourselves to enjoy the feast and enjoy the warm, calm weather. The raku kiln was going, pots were thrown and the question of "Does SIZE matter?" was brought into play. Just another Saturday in paradise.

The start of Donna's vessel

 Work it, Donna! It seems to be growing??!!

Does size matter???

Apparently. She threw another one!

Esther inspects her base

Steve does his own thing, as usual.

Gina's sprayed piece turned out great!!

And......there was breakfast. The bread was homemade by the birthday girl, Heather. It was outstanding!!

Picture Day

Today was Picture Day in class. Some old ....some new....Enjoy!!

Mixed Bag

It was a lovely day in the neighborhood with more memories, burritos, and...clay.



Emily begins another masterpiece




New Raku Top Hat Kiln




Gina working on reusable fortune cookies. It's blurry because I don't want to give away her secret technique. And if you believe that, I have some ocean front property for sale in SE Denver.




The rebuilt low-fire salt kiln is being used as an end table until the burners are replaced.



Speaking of memory or lack there of...what was the name of that group you pulled out of the sky, Steve?

The Back Porch Majority...of course!
