Happy Memorial Day!

Here's an offering from Saturday mornings' favorite veteran, Steve. Thanks for your service to our country and thank you for all the great shino creations!

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.

New Projects

This week we all remembered our medication so class was a tad bit calmer. Marianne had a new project ready to go and the high fire kiln was unloaded and it's treasures revealed.

The sun was out.
The sky was blue.
All these pictures are just for you!!

Pattern Rollers are great for your thighs



An amusing variety of tools



Patterned slab is ready!



Seems easy enough......




It's Magic!!  Don't forget the feet and Holy Water!



Side View....

Watch for these low maintenance pets at the Guild Sale next Saturday!



Spring Guild Sale

Come one, come all to the May 5th, 2012 Pottery Guild Sale!

Some pieces you may see include the following.....

Marianne To The Rescue!

Thanks to our fearless leader, Marianne, pictures of the class action yesterday were captured in artistic style. It dawned on me that I constantly got the message "Memory Full" from my camera yesterday. I'm not sure if that was about me or the camera?? Anyway, among the conversations about movie titles, brownies, grand theft auto, etc. .....the beat goes on...... 



Donna works on her new creation as Susan supervises




Amy looking for all the other pots she threw




Oh....There they are!! Great stuff!



Steve looking for "Raku Snakes" before the women folk pull their pieces.

An Unfinished Sentence or Is That Your Rexus?....Enough!

   What a "class." It reminded me of the days when I would see 3 movies in one day and then couldn't keep any of the plots straight. We all understand each other and I think that constitutes having our own language. The rules of this language require that you rely on the brain cells of fellow class members to complete your sentence. It's a new game of "Madlibs" every week. You start a sentence and everyone else tries to fill in the missing noun or verb that you need to complete your thought. This has nothing to do with the only picture I was able to take today. It just means I was trying to remember so hard that I forgot to take pictures. Never fear...more are coming from those not remembering at the time of thinking!



Donna's Raku Vessel
So beautiful, it photographed off-center.
