Local burlesque starlet, Tabitha (TYNKERHELL), is faced with oppressive and mounting medical bills for a very serious illness. Join us on this amazing night of music, burlesque and variety acts and silent auction to show a whole lotta love and support for one of the most phenomenal women we know.

somewhere in this kiln load is a mighty fine whiskey set which is part of the silent auction.  so head on down to the Elysium Friday July 26th enjoy the show, buy something and show some love and support!

about a month into vacation and i have managed to make a bit of work in the studio.

i actually am pleased with the amount of work, less pleased with my lack of sketching but i figure during the trip portion of vacation i will be inspired (eye candy) and have time to sketch.

i also started finally working on some pieces that will go directly on the wall, this past spring i tried a few that were bulky and unflattering. so far i have worked on a 4 (2 being what you see above) the other two need some shaping before i decide and shoot them. I decided to try different construction techniques mostly because of the earlier unsuccessful attempt but also why put all your eggs in one basket. i still need to make empty bowls so i can fire the kiln but there’s always august.

got word i was juried into Visions in Clay, juror Peter Held at the LL Horton Jr. Gallery San Joaquin Delta College.
