The newly founded Ceramics Club held their first event last Friday - a make-a-thon/NCECA fundraiser.
We made over 100 pieces by the end of the day - image these bowls filled with tomato bisque. Yum.
We made kiln pizzas for lunch. A first, but definitely not a last - really a genius way to feed a lot of people at once. The kiln room smelled so good...
Kuldeep Malhi uses repeating forms in a way that I think Kevin may find familiar with his domes. Malhi utilizes this cross between ceramics and architecture to create a rather tactile, vertical environment.

Senior Thesis/DAAPworks show is coming up for all the seniors in the studio. This postcard gives a sneak peek at whats to come in the Fine Arts exhibition.
We are all sure the ceramics students will shine in the show, so tell all your friends and family!
Ceramicist Monika Patuszynska uses the slip casting method in a nonconventional way. It is almost impossible to create a mold that does not create parting lines on the clay positive. Most artists spend tons of time scraping and sanding them down. Monika does just the opposite. She goes as far as to destroy her mold to create these lines, smashing them into various fragments to then piece them back together with jagged edges that resemble the profiles of rocks jutting out from the sea or mineral formations from desert lands.
I think current senior Alana Burfield could find a lot of inspiration from this nationally known artist.
