Goodbye January

The first week of school has been quite interesting. The classes I am enrolled in include advanced ceramics, glass, art history, Pate de Verre independent study, interning at Laxson Art Gallery, working three days a week at my job AND taking a belly dance class....it has been an intense experience so far. I am venturing down to Alpha Ceramic Supply in Sacramento tomorrow to pick up specific clay they have and other items I may need.


Our glass teacher attempted to light up the furnace today so we may be blowing glass soon! Or so I hope - with hot glass added into the equation of my life it will definitely be a busy semester! Plus trying to graduate and get everything in order is more of a process than I thought.

 I have been involved in a love affair with paper clay and have made two large pieces - the two pictures I am including below. I purchased another type of paper clay that had a more intense amount of mold in it and my sinuses became irritated later after working with the clay for a short amount of time....hence I am staying home in Sutter tonight to make the trip to Sacramento tomorrow and then back up to Chico for class!

Earlier today I ventured into Yuba City to get dinner with my mom and do a small amount of shopping. Walking through Target in Yuba City on a Tuesday night and having absolutely no one around in the store felt really weird - I swear that no matter where you go in Chico [be it any store] there are always a large amount of people around. That is why I absolutely dread going to such places when I need to get items! I put the errands off until the last minute. But I will admit that it was almost weird to be in Target and actually not be completely annoyed.

I have nothing more of actual substance to divulge at this moment but I hope to get more a rhythm going about my classes, art work, shows, etc.....as time goes on - Hello February! I leave you with these pictures...
