Featuring Mary Cay
I often write about my friend and ceramic’s mentor, Mary Cay, who is an instructor at the Art Student’s League of Denver and quite a committed ceramic artist. She has given me so much inspiration since I met her 3 years ago and I’ve furthered my education in the technical aspects of making work and glaze science…thank you!!
Yesterday, I went over to the Fire House Gallery on Santa Fe in Denver to help her photograph her current show. It was so wonderful to see the show again, without the crowds of opening night. I really got a chance to capture the details and to see how the work was hung. Last year, Ceramic’s Monthly featured Mary Cay and her development of glaze kiln jewels in an article by Sumi von Dassow called A Glittering Obsession that’s worth reading.
On a side note, she has been making wishbone pendants from bone infused porcelain china that I’ve been trying to get her to sell on Etsy. I have one and they’re so much fun, not to mention unusual!
That’s it from me for today, I don’t have anything new ceramic wise. My in-laws are in town and I’ve been busy doing non art related activities.
Have a good weekend everyone,
