Clay Sculpting

The clay sculptures were created while attending classes with internationally-known ceramist, Jordan Van Sewell.  Jordan inspired us to create just for fun and to be whimsical.  This class allowed me to play with clay and as a result, my relationship with clay will never be the same.  Oh dear!

George's Drive to Open the Cottage.

That first trip to open the cottage in the Spring is invigorating even when the weather won't cooperate.  Here, George is making his annual opening trip in his trusty, old convertible wearing his favorite blue ear muffs.  There is no need to stop an old tradition.  Oh, what a happy day!

Joni's New Hat

This was my first attempt at sculpting a bust and unfortunately, the hat blew off during firing in the kiln. (Jordan wasn't impressed!)  As a result, I made a new hat using fun fur and the piece is now considered mixed media.  I am happy for this mistake as I think the piece has become more interesting.  What do you think?

The Knockout

This figure is Sonja who was a very beautiful young woman and had it all in the looks department.  However, as years flew by, her fight to be the most beautiful creature in the room became more and more demanding.  The title of this piece is therefore a play on words.  The hand-sewn boxing gloves are a reminder to all to stay in the ring till the last bell rings.  Go girl!
