CUPS Invitational

For Final Fridays this month, we particularly enjoyed the ceramics exhibits at the Arts Center. Firstly, there was the Orton International Cone Box Show, where every ceramics piece displayed has to fit inside of a standard 3x6x6 Orton cone box.

We also thoroughly enjoyed the CUPS International show, also at the Arts Center.

Every cup, from artists all over the country, is a functional, one-of-a-kind cup

For the near future, you can find out more about these shows by visiting the Current Exhibitions page of the Arts Center!

After seeing such cool cups this weekend, I was motivated to throw some new cups.  I plan to use them for glaze testing for possible use on future larger works.  Here are some of my new cups, mid-process...

Robot Bowls: Spring 2012

Let's get this thing started.  I thought I would begin by showing some of my previous work.  During the Spring of 2012 I was working on a series I refer to as "Robot Bowls."  They are similar to my current work in surface design and subject matter, but not necessarily in form.
