About a week ago I attended a reception at the 1078 Gallery for an international juried MFA show. As I was leaving the studio the moon looked quite amazing in the sky so I grabbed my camera to take a picture. The show was well received by fellow Chico artists and was followed with a juror talk and award announcements.
Trevor Koch's piece...he won first place and will have a solo exhibit at 1078 sometime this year.

Earlier this week I purchased a 10 10 20 panel. The panels are made by our shop tech and sold to students to participate in the 10 10 20 show. The blank panels are 10 x 10 inches and cost 3 dollars, and then sold at the reception for 20 dollars (hence 10 10 12). This is a great fundraiser for the art department and this will be the second time around this show is happening and the last time I can participate as a student. The panels were due today and this coming week all of the student panels will be up in the B-SO Gallery Space in Ayres. Below is a picture of my panel. I rolled out thin slabs of paper clay and layered them inside the panel after staining the wood.
I slumped a glass plate the other day in glass class and I was very happy with how the plate came out. I crushed up blue plate glass and ran the particles through a fine screen so I had the finest powder to use for the iris color. I used a laser decal for the pupil and it is an image of my dad as a child.
Also...I have updated my website with some pottery that I got out of the kiln! I finally had an overcast, non-rainy day that I could take pictures outside.
