People are always asking me about balance. How do I balance life and kids and making art. How do I still find time for the blog? How do I still find time to be an organizer of flock & gather? Some days I answer that life finds a way, and that at times I’ve been more productive than before kids due to limited time and a greater desire to use that time wisely. Other days….well other days are like yesturday when I poured some casts only to be so distracted that I completely forgot about them and discovered them three hours too late – rather than five minutes after they were cast which was their proper casting time. Sigh. Some days it is too much. Some days put me back rather than forward. Some days I question it all. But most days….most days it is all worth it. I’m living the dream.

I’m making mugs now. Something which I’m the first to admit I’m not very good at. My mind is filled with images like the one above in the hopes I can sort out what I’m doing.
I’m also playing with a different design. Less for the kids, more for the grown ups. We’ll see where it leads. Too much in the early infant steps to really have perspective on where it’ll lead. Lots of baby steps around these parts lately….

The Uncommon Denominator: A Tribute to Richard Hirsch presents
a spectrum of aesthetic eloquence and technical mastery in the ceramic
arts. The traveling exhibition and accompanying catalog celebrate the
career of Richard Hirsch through the work of a selection of his alumni.
Hirsch has achieved professional recognition both as a ceramic artist
and teacher.
During his teaching career, which has spanned over thirty years, he
has been a faculty member of two prominent craft programs: the Program
in Artisanry at Boston University, and currently, the School for
American Crafts at Rochester Institute of Technology. Many of Hirsch’s
former students have established their own outstanding careers in the
contemporary ceramics field. Represented in The Uncommon Denominator are
notable examples of the renaissance in utilitarian pottery, continued
interest in the vessel aesthetic, and the investigation of both
figurative and abstract sculpture.
For more on Richard Hirsch, see With Fire in hardcover and softcover.

Matthew Harris & Tim Rowan exhibition opens on Wednesday,
the 20th of February and runs through the 20th of March 2013. This
exhibition aims to explore the fascinating interplay between mixed media
on paper and ceramics by offering an exceptional selection of 24 new
works on paper by Matthew Harris and nearly 40 ceramic sculptures by Tim
Rowan.
Matthew
Harris has focused his art to textiles and for the past ten years has
made and exhibited drawings and works on paper. He is based in Stroud
and continues to make work that is concerned with abstract imagery and
the translation of drawn marks into cloth, achieved by a process of
dying, cutting and hand stitching. Tim Rowan comes from New York and
currently works in the Hudson Valley. He produces boxes, bowls and
sculptures in woodfired stoneware and native clay.
The
show invites viewers to explore the relationship between the stunning
work of these artists, and will be open to visitors Monday through
Saturday, 10:00am – 6:00pm. There is no admission fee to attend our
show.
Monday – Friday 10am – 6pm
