a description of the exibition:
The Dining Room Project considers our multifaceted relationship with food and intersections of food and art. With this expansive project, the dining room serves as a platform for the exploration of such issues as hunger, sustenance, consumption, taste, public health, sustainability, cultural symbolism and rituals within various traditions, and food and the meal’s usefulness as vehicle for communication, creative expression, and activism.

Potters Council: Surface & Form RECAP!

holy moly! where did the month of february go?

when i got back from the Potters Council Surface + Form Conference, i hit the ground running....and it's been nonstop! FINALLY, i present a couple of pics from the workshop.

i demo'd using paper stenciling and thermofax screen printing with underglazes, as well as using iron oxide decals.the last part of the workshop was hand's on where the attendees were able to play around with applying vintage decals and versa color china paints.
all in all it was a fabulous weekend and i met some rad people. a big thanks to everyone at the Potters Council and Funke Fired Arts!

Surface + Form : Potter's Council Conference

right now i'm demoing at the potter's council surface + form conference hosted by funke fired arts in cincinnati, ohio. lots of pictures to follow.

here's probably the weirdest cincinnati themed song ever. i happened to turn the tv on at this almost exact precise moment when this video started back in decemeber. drew barrymore? keanu reeves? keanu driving like a maniac in a blizzard? well let's all break out into song!


i'm staying with my good friends Katie Parker & Guy Michael Davis in their totally rad new house - more to follow on them and their awesomeness!


if you really want to know the clip is from the movie Babes in Toyland (1986) and i don't really recommend watching it at all. i showed you the best part already.
