Etsy Treasury Love

I finally made the call.  I am not going to make any more pieces for my show.  I loaded all my dry sculptures into the kiln this afternoon for a bisque firing.  Woo hoo!  Now I have one more cone 04 glaze firing to do.  Then, when my porcelain pieces come out of this bisque, I will have a cone 10 firing to do.  That's it!  I am excited to say the least.  I am even going to take some time off for ME this week.  It is spring break after all.  I am a little giddy about it.  Oh, what should I do?  Where should I go?  So many choices and such lovely weather.  It is supposed to be 74 degrees tomorrow.  I actually felt overheated today.  When it is 100 degrees this summer, today will seem cold in my memory.


On another lovely note, I keep getting put in these wonderful Etsy Treasuries.  This is completely awesome!  This treasury was created by dorothydomingo who has a delightful Etsy shop with ceramics, beadwork and quilting.  My piece is the Sea Foam Pasta bowl which is on the third row down, first image.  It is a great beginning to what is shaping up to be a wonderful week.  I almost forgot, my son got off his crutches yesterday!

Visiting Artist David Linger

We had a very interesting and talented visiting artist from the bay area generously share his time with us in the ceramics studio at Chico State today.  David Linger gave a wonderful slide presentation and shared his thoughts, processes and inspirations.  David screen prints photographic imagery onto ultra thin translucent porcelain and combines that with text printed with an intaglio technique.  He will be having an exhibition of his current work at the Braunstein/Quay gallery in San Francisco.



David Linger studied with the well known ceramic artist, Richard Shaw who will be having a concurrent exhibition at the gallery.  I can't wait to go!  The reception will be right at the end of my spring break and it sounds like a great excuse to head to San Francisco.
