Museums and galleries not only house facinating collections, they are also the home of leading experts who love to share their passion for art, history and science. ‘Ask a Curator Day‘ on September 1st 2010 will open the door to these experts with a unique worldwide question and answer session which will let interested members of the public put questions to museum and gallery curators. We are using the popular website Twitter to host ‘Ask a Curator‘. You can find a list of participating cultural venues in the ‘who to ask?’ section of this website, or simply follow the hashtag #askacurator on September 1st to follow the questions other people are asking.via vaaa art blog

Drawing its theme from the famous dictum of panta rhei (“everything flows”), attributed to the Greek philosopher, Heraclitus, the Ninth International Ceramics Symposium will take place in the Thuringian pottery city of Römhild in 2011. Some 160 artists from 29 countries have taken part in the previous, highly regarded eight symposia.

…for an important message from the gal who brings you musing about mud each and everyday (that would be me!) to hit the airwaves (or interwaves?) thursday morning.
That’s all I’m saying. You can’t drag it out of me. Nope I won’t tell….

It’s been a while since the wonders of Medalta. And I guess it’s been a while since I posted about what has been going on in the studio. It’s been an adjustment to get back into the pace of daily home life rather than all day/all night studio life, but work has been progressing none the less. I’m trying to finish up the rest of the china painting this week for the show in early October. There’s still so much to do in terms of finishing the pieces so to have the china painting done would be pretty sweet. More on the show later…
