friday we are taking the kids on a field trip to houston to check out the multitude of ceramic exhibits around the town. i actually downloaded the app for the phone but then the print copy made it into my hands and its hard to break such perfectly lovely, ingrained habits. glaze scheduled for Tuesday- hoping to have some whites out for possible further testing or use and 3 pieces are waiting to just be done.
finished emmanual cooper’s contemporary ceramics (from 2007) i enjoyed it although there wasn’t a section focusing on the figure/figurine/ (which i think one could argue has come just as far from the traditions academic, artistic and that marriage which so often defines fine art) the sections he did have were concise, there seemed to be a sprinkling of old blood and new, which was respectful and refreshing
