Tomorrow I am going to Peoria, IL to pick up my piece that was in Central Times Ceramics at Bradley University. I went to the opening reception and heard Delores Fortuna's lecture, which was refreshing. I was very pleased with the juror's selection, I most enjoyed the fact that it was work by people I have never heard of and the talent was superb and creative.
I missed NCECA this year which was in Seatte, WA and wish I could have gone, because it is always so stimulating to be surrounded by beautiful pots and the company of potters, but maybe next year or the after I will bea ble to attend. I just entered a few pieces in Across the Divide, a national juried show in Arizona, so I should here the results of that in a few weeks, no fingers crossed because I dont even care anymore about them. It is like playing the lotto.
I am realizing that my time here in Iowa is winding down. Zachary will be finished school next February and is going to India for clinic abroad for two weeks this summer. I will be attending a residency this winter, at the Corning Center for the Fine Arts. It is a three month long residency from November to January. They have a small ceramics studio and a programmable kiln as well as gallery space. I will be staying in a furnished apartment above the studio that they rent to resident artists. I am pretty pumped for this, I have not worked full time in a studio since Hartford. I will also be glad to not have to go to a job for three months hellzzz yea.I have been working at Mississippi Mud, my studio up in Dubuque once a week, now that I have my car back. I have a few things in progress. I will be having a solo show at Corning Fine Arts this December so I am making some pieces for that right now and kind of getting nervous already cause i would ideally like to have about 20 pieces and I have about 4.
