      I did a residency at the Bray but I use to take my classes these to see the art. I bought my clay from there for the University. This trip is fun. 23 Annual Wild Women's Weekend at Chico Hot Springs. My girlfriends and I do this every year. I miss them since I moved to Texas.

       

  8. Had a nice pre-workshop meeting on South Padre Island. People decided what types of firings we'll do in two raku kilns: raku, horse hair and feathers, obvara and saggars. I gave them sme terra sig to prepare the pieces after some demonstrating.

      No. computer virus. Had to go to the geek squad. Even they couldn't get rid of Mackeeper. Had to erase everything and go download a previous backup from our time machine.

  21. I moved from Montana to Brownsville, Texas in 2006 and established this studio by 2007. I built my dream raku kiln and bought 2 new electric kilns. I spent several years researching ^6 oxidation glaze development while continuing to do saggar and raku firings. Recently focusing on Alternative Firing Techniques using 2 raku kilns for the past three years.
