Neighbor

For Illustration Friday
We've been living in an apartment for 3 years. Generally it's good but sometimes the neighbors can make the apartment seem very small.

progress

The jar on the left is the very 1st cylinder I threw this semester. I added a slab bottom, coil lip and a slab lid with pinched handle.

The jar on the right is one of the last I've ten pieces I've thrown - somewhere between 55 and 65. I stopped numbering after 50. Both the jar and lid are thrown and the jar has a trimmed foot. The only hand addition is the pinched handle on the lid.

I'm greatful my instructor encouraged us to keep those first "wonky" cylinders because it's nice to see the progress.

I'm going to see if I can find my images from ceramics 1 - talk about wonky - I'll post them if I can find them.

UPDATED: found them
turns out they weren't as wonky as I'd remembered. I gave them all away in the Pottery Lottery.

showing off

I've got ceramic work in a couple of shows this month. First is the group show at the Blue Onion in McAllen.
It's a group show of student work from UTPA and STC.

Next, at STC a larger group show has been put together that features work from five texas colleges. It should be a really great show.
The opening is Tuesday May 8th at 7pm. Come by and check it out. There will be free food!

Finally, on May 10th the annual Texas Clay Arts "Six Pack" show opens in Austin. My musical monsters will be in it. I'm gonna try to do my best to be there for the opening.
