bciskepottery Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 My idea is to start this back up again.. Did the community challenge stop while I was away? It was one of the reasons I returned. http://community.ceramicartsdaily.org/topic/15022-community-challenge-7/?hl=%2Bcommunity+%2Bchallenge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Bridge Pottery Posted November 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Current challenge is a little empty, obviously missed the mark with that idea. Â New one will be starting in December, I always add the link to the newest thread in my signature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilly Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Current challenge is a little empty, obviously missed the mark with that idea. Â Â Â Hmmmm, I'm guilty as charged. Â Couldn't think of a design, and for home use I like the grinders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeU Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 Guilty also ... never hit on an inspiring design and then just lost focus in the midst of many other attention-grabbers in the studio & the not-studio (daily life). I could keep going with the excuses, but basically just wimped out & dropped the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChenowethArts Posted November 26, 2016 Report Share Posted November 26, 2016 How about something that doesn't require a huge commitment of time...like a sketch problem: Â Cube-o-Rama Take enough clay to make a 1" cube (2.54 cm)...and take a picture Make something functional/whimsical from the cube Take progress pictures and share Post final project with an appropriate cubical-functional-whimsical title Send 25 cents to my PayPal account OK...everything except that last bullet-point -Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChenowethArts Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 Still massaging the sketch problem concept:  Not-a-Handle Handle  From a 1 to 2 lb clump of well-wedged (or pugged) clay: Pull a very long handle Make it a little longer...maybe 18" to 24" Without breaking or cutting into sections... Create a form that is NOT a handle. Give your creation a sniglet-like title -Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evelyne Schoenmann Posted March 30, 2017 Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 Joel and everybody: did the Community Challenge stop? I never saw the December one... Joel, are you demoralized? Â I would love to awaken the Challenge again. What do you all think? Joel, would you try once more? You did an outstanding job so far!

High Bridge Pottery Posted March 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2017 I really enjoyed doing the challenges but I have stopped running any. I felt they had run their course as participation was dwindling and my ideas were not bringing people in. I had fun trying it out and thank you to everybody who joined in but don't feel bad if you didn't.  Anybody is more than welcome to take up the community challenge torch and continue.

Evelyne Schoenmann Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Joel: I can understand your frustration. At one point too I had to stay out for 2 challenges because of lack of time and then the hand surgeries. But I think it sad that the Community Challenge stopped. Maybe Mistfit wants to take over? Â Mistfit? Helooooooo??! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrim8 Posted March 31, 2017 Report Share Posted March 31, 2017 Or... make something out of your own mix of clay with a flame-ware recipe from scratch (no buying ready-made clay) , then make some type of food with it -so, start to finish - raw material to finished food item made in the flame-ware. ( cross between pottery throw down & great bake-off) Â (I've been wanting to learn how to make flame-ware) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like you volunteered there Chilly  and feel free to modify the format as you like.  I always felt the results thread was putting some people off and 50/50 on if it was needed anyway.

Joseph Fireborn Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 I felt like the results thread was a nice place to see all the work finished, but I also liked seeing the works in progress posted on the actual topic. I feel like the results thread was a lot of extra work for you Joel and we should have just posted our works in progress and final pictures as went in the same place. Pyewackette, LeeU and Rebekah Krieger 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Bridge Pottery Posted April 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 I don't remember it taking that long, probably no more than 10-20min. It did seem like a good idea to have a collection at the end but then again why take them out from the flow of the thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chilly Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 I did say, a while back, that I would set the next challenge, which I have failed so far to do. But, watch this space, the non-christmas christmas challenge will be posted on 24 September, giving three months build time.

yappystudent Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 What is the community challenge and when does it happen? I can find this thread OK but the basic info still eludes me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeU Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 This activity ran its course quite a while ago. Bottom line, only a small number of people participated over time and each round garned less attention. It was fun, a great idea, but like most things, had to be maintained, with people responsible for keeping it current and ongoing--a bit of a burden with the low particpation a factor, so I think it just died a natural death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hulk Posted August 16, 2018 Report Share Posted August 16, 2018 "Repeat ware" is my current (self)challenge. Looks like some of the small studio folk roun' heah do repeats, some don't. I want to learn the control to do repeats if/when I want to - mugs, tumblers, bowls, plates, vases, lidded jars - all that ...expecting to see improvement by Xmas.
