I’ve been in the studio working like a mad woman for the past 2 weeks getting ready for “The Fine Art of Craft Show” at the Center for the Arts Evergreen opening on April 25th. In the meantime, my kid’s clay class started back up and my class is going to be having a show at the Space Gallery, along with the Art Club class on Monday, April 14th from 4:00pm – 7:00pm.

I needed to think of a project to do with the kids for their show and remembered the mono-type slip transfer technique that Paul Wandless detailed in his book, Image Transfer on Clay. After a few rocky starts, I have success and the kid’s work is terrific! The slide show above is my second and more successful sample attempt at the transfer technique. This is low fire white earthenware clay, and last night I used my normal ^6 porcelain. The under-glaze bled a little bit during the transfer, so I might not have let it set up enough before doing the transfer. More experiments later today…

Thank you for all your votes for my new studio shot for my website. I’ve made a decision. I am going to temporarily use the black and white until, I can re-shoot the photograph in color, with less background distraction. You convinced me Janet

Happy Thursday,

One last note, if you still have my blog bookmarked through my old blogspot blog, http://cmguajardo.blogspot.com, I’m going to be deleting that blog on Sunday, April 6th. Please update your bookmarks and links.
