This year’s workshop features three Texas potters who create some of the best surfaces you can set your eyes on and a great artist from Missouri. Each strives for artistic excellence that
shows a love for aesthetics and function in every creation. On Friday, April 29, we will meet at
the clubhouse in room 2 at 7:00 pm for a show and tell by the artists. On Saturday we will meet at the pottery studio at 8:00 am. You will need to bring your leather hard pots, the tools you will be working with, and 50 pounds of Laguna B mix for hand building. Also bring a 2x15x18 foam pad. You can purchase the pads at Joann Fabrics hopefully near you. Bring two finished cups for a cup draw on Sunday afternoon. We will rotate each day at lunch time and Sunday morning to a different table and artist. At the end of the weekend you will have had four-hour hands-on experience with each of the four clay artists. You will have had exposure to four of the excellent artists that LMRA can introduce you to and will go away having enriched your skill and your soul.

Got Craft aims to bring together a community that fosters handmade and D.I.Y.
(do-it-yourself) culture. Founded in 2007, Got Craft is held twice a year in May and December featuring 50 local handmade artists and an average attendance of 3000+ a year.
Each individual fair is juried to curate a show that best represents the indie nature of Got Craft. Our goal is to have a good number of vendors in each category – jewelry, clothing, bath and body, paper goods, ceramics, housewares, accessories, wall art, plush, food, etc. Got Craft also makes sure that there are a fair number of new vendors accepted, so that people don’t keep attending the same show year after year.

My name is Sharlene Sieloff and my Etsy shop name is
Shars Art Pottery.
I started my art adventure over fifty years ago.
It has been a blessing to do what I love in my own business (photography studio) for most of that time.
I have enjoyed giving workshops and classes in painting, pottery and sculpture to great students over the years. Now I am retired and can continue to play with the “art of the day”.
I have studied at many art schools including: Cranbrook Academy of Art, Pewabic Pottery, Kay Issacson School of Painting, Naguibe School of Sculpture, and Brooks School of Photographic Arts.

Thanks to Carol Watkins for today’s amazing work.
In her words:
“I handbuild usually, in a pile-it-on, hollow-it-out method. I use varying surface techniques, anything from cold finishing with bondo and acrylic to multiple firings with underglazes and lusters.
A few of my heros are Beth Cavener Stichter, Sergei Isupov, and Anne Drew Potter.”
(hmm good heros, they are some of mine too!)

Recently the amazing sweet and generous (and equally talented) Vipoo Srivilasa contacted me about an auction he was putting together for the QLD government flood relief. I was incredibly honored to be approached to participate as Australia will always be near and dear to my heart and many of my close friends live there, some in the affected areas of the flood.
Here’s a bit from his website: Prominent Melbourne ceramicist Vipoo Srivilasa was distressed by the unfolding tragedy, and has organised an auction featuring the donated works of well known and award-winning artists to raise funds for The Premier’s Disaster Relief Appeal (www.qld.gov.au/floods/donate.html).
Srivilasa’s call-out for his friends and colleagues to donate has exceeded his expectations, and he is currently fielding expressions of support from as far away as North America. “The response has been overwhelming! I was planning for maybe twenty artists to join me but I reached forty in no time. It’s turning into a much bigger project than I expected”, he admits.
The auction will happen online at ebay.com.au from Friday 4th to Sunday 6th February, 2011.
It is now live at http://shop.ebay.com.au/srivilasa/m.html
Each Item is listed to finish 2 minutes apart, with the first item to finish on Sunday 6 Feb at 8.00pm, and the last one to finish at 9.30pm.
The idea is if you miss the first piece, you can still bid on the second or third piece and so on. To be able to make a bid you need an eBay account (www.ebay.com.au ). You can register for free.
Please follow the link for more details: http://help.ebay.com.au/Help/Getting_Started/Manage_your_account/Registration
or go straight to registration page: https://scgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?RegisterEnterInfo&siteid=15&co_partnerid=2&usage=0&ru=default&rafId=0&encRafId=default
There are some pretty amazing artists donating work (42 pieces I believe), as well as little old me, so please go and check it out, bid on some amazing work, and please forward the links as far an wide as possible.
