It has been a long weekend with two furlough days, one February 12th and the other is February 15th. The furloughs completely fucked up the glass furnace, in the moment that our teacher decided to finally get the furnace turned on - we found out that the school was using the Friday furlough to shut down the power on the side of campus where ceramics and glass are located...so after 3 weeks and 200 dollars in lab fees there is still no hot glass yet. I know I could cast a bunch of the furnace glass - but until you have blown glass and had that experience - well..you don't know the pain some of us are going through.
There has been a group of us art kids going out during the week - it has been enjoyable. There seems to be phases of groups and friendships formed in ways that allow you to get out of the studio every now and then and enjoy a beer with people. This past Wednesday we went to two different bars - enjoying PBR and some others enjoyed their Maker's shots.
Last night I went to a friend's house for her boyfriend's birthday gathering and was lucky enough to run into some old friends that have since graduated the Chico Art Department. It is always nice running into them because once our studio friends graduate they usually disappear into their after life of college and work and what was once a familiar face is someone you see every now and again. There was an adorable puppy at the party that I took a picture of. This pup just kept sleeping while I pet him - he was a cutie. I threw in some random photo of balloon animals from a store window and cups I made earlier today. I have yet to get more in-progress shots of work. Stay tuned for more awesome to come around....
