This work was done by a grad. student at CU. She was an assistant for Cristina Cordova. I met her at Penland this summer when I took a class from Cristina. This was a great show! This student is working under Kurt Weiser. Look at his work, it is amazing. You can tell that her professor is interested in imagery. These were some of my favorite pieces at the show.



This was an amazing piece. It really catches the emotion of the child. The dress is an actual dress.


This piece really tells a story. I know some of you (students) will really like this one!





















Mixed Media. What can I say? I love it. Makes me want to go out and get discarded items. Don't throw anything away!!!
















Undergrad/Grad Show at NCECA. Great Sculptural Images!

Pod Sculptures/WORK IN PROGRESS


WORKS IN PROGRESS/POD PROJECT











Students were asked to create an organic form using clay. References were required in order to create the sculpture. Students used stoneware clay and the pinch pod technique in order to create their forms.
Sketches were created and each student went to the welding dept. with their designs for the armature for their sculpture.
Students were given the option of cold finish, raku, cone 10 reduction, or saggar as a finishing technique.
