Celebration

Tres Amigas Bonitas! With Maria Elena and Carmela for a much-needed night out at Hacienda del Sol.

The foam for the green tiles worked perfectly. Rebecca and I spent several hours cutting and laying foam in David's truck and then placing tiles on layers. It was only 108 degrees outside.
The good news is that not one tile
broke in transit to Professor Chabot's studio. Aurore has a hundred plate setters from past public art projects and we loaded her massive Bailey kiln with almost 100 tiles. She believes in a slow bisque with lots of holds-3 days!
On some days I have been so tired I come home and take a nap-the heat and stress I suppose. On Friday, I was eager to meet two good friends at the posh Hacienda del Sol for a refreshing evening of good company, food and jazz. I don't go out often because I always seem to be working; my friends have learned not to take it personally when I say I no to invitations.

For three years now I've been throwing pots on Saturday nights at the Tucson Reid Park pottery studio. This session I decided to only do slab work and sculpture. I have never done sculpture before but surprisingly I can, and it is immensely enjoyable.
