I’ve been working on my website and am slowly returning images of my student’s work…
In April 2008, the students in my clay class had an exhibit at the Space Gallery in Denver and donated the money the made from the sale of their work to Mr. Andy who heads up the Seeds to Table Program at Steele Elementary. A slip transfer is a print making technique called a mono-type. The students painted their images on newsprint and then transfered their paintings to wet clay.

Hello again Cynthia,
Your work is inspirational and so is your website. I hope to have much more time to produce with the closing of my in town studio and having more time to
do some creating. Just getting started on my website. I have been an artist in residence in Oregon and am still doing working in that area but have been playing around with Raku and some porcelain. Thanks for the inspiration. I really like the idea of doing the lino cutting and making a platter idea. Awesome!!!
Keep up the good work!
Thanks Cynthia,
Nancy Kurz
