Tammy's work at Red Lodge Clay Center
James Tisdale Figurative Invitational
03.01.2013 – 04.26.2013
Red Lodge Clay Center, along with James Tisdale proposed an idea from former Long-Term Resident Jonathan Fitz. The original vision for the exhibit was to fill their loft gallery with world class examples of ceramic figurative work.
Each piece had to be under 18" tall and wall-mounted.
The work features 40 artists, capturing a broad section of aesthetics, including artists at the top of the field, alongside quality makers who are just getting their work out. Almost all of Red Lodge Clay Center's group exhibits feature a similar mix.
Red Lodge Clay Center is a residency program first and foremost and demonstrating the significance of art in everyday life.

Eden Adrift - with visiting artist Eva Champagne
Eden Adrift is an art exhibit from Gulf Coast State College visiting international artist Eva Champagne. The work features three formal explorations of delight and symmetry of nature's processes. Opened in November 2012, now showing in New Orleans in the Garden District.
“ ‘Eden’ can be viewed as a metaphor for balance, liveliness, gratification," Champagne said. “Looking at how nature works, it is always a series of reciprocities, that when flowing uninhibited, result in harmony.”

The ceramic artists in this exhibition, while individually distinctive, are linked by their satirical use of re-contextualized figurines in order to convey biting socio-political insight. The exhibition features Pavel Amromin, Russell Biles, Michelle Erickson, Benjamin Schulman and Linda Vallejo.
Ceramics I at the Skopelos Art Foundation
I spent the first five weeks of the summer teaching Ceramics
I. This class was different than a traditional Ceramics I class as three weeks
of the course were taught in Greece. I've developed the class a few years back
and am delighted that is has gone so well for the past two years. If anyone is interested, yes I am
planning on going back in 2013. The Class started off in Panama City Fl at Gulf Coast State
College for a two week prep course in hand building, and a brief introduction to Ancient Greek pottery, after a short break the class flew to Athens to visit historical sites.
After a three-day stay in Athens we traveled five hours north via bus and flying Cat to the
island of Skopelos. The island is home to the Skopelos Art Foundation, a wonderful
facility that offers artist residences, classes and workshops in multiple mediums. The Owner Gloria Carr and her daughter
Jill Somer run the facility and do a wonderful job hosting students. I started
off as a student myself ten years ago and have been back to the facility numerous
times since then in every capacity imaginable. The island is small and quaint. The locals are
kind and generous, and there isn’t a bad view for any vantage point on the island. Images form "The Skopart Foundation"

Picks from Workshop
Hey All,
Just
wanted to pass some images from the workshop listed below. Lots of fun, our
friend Beau Raymond was an awesome host. Got to visit The Roswell Clay
Center, great environment, people, and impressive ceramic works. Pavel and I
worked side-by-side witch I think is great for participants, because we work so
differently. I always joke that there is an imaginary line down the middle
of our studio at home because Pavel works with porcelain and I work with a nice
rust colored terra-cotta. You can almost see the line in this image!!! Pavel
showed participates how to make a mold using plaster and I build a pillow
person. We had a great time and as always learned new things ourselves.
Happy Making!

| UP's first drawing -book #1 |
A few years back, I made a bunch of small hand made books and never used them. The books are pocket size 4 inches by 4 inches, small and intimate. Simple with black cloth cover, all hand bond. Last Christmas, I gave one to my Uncle Paul affectionately called UP. I grew up with drawings from UP in my home, so it was a natural place to start. He and I have had fun reacting to each other's work. He completes a page or two and then we mail them back and forth, responding to the marks, images or colors. This past year I have given an additional ten books out and only one other has come back to me, I'm excited to start on it. If anyone is interested in collaborating please let me know and I'll send you a book. |
