Medalta day 6
Five minutes to midnight…can i get this post done in time so that i can say I blogged today? What a day. Starting with a raiding of Hycroft China for some yummy kitsch molds to use while I’m here, and my word, what a trove of treasures. The OMGs were flying. A ballerina mold, a raccoon wall plaque, angels everywhere, bumble bees and kittens, pedestal bases and candy hearts. I was in heaven…dusty, dusty heaven.
The rest of the day was mainly spent cleaning molds and trying to take mental stock of everything that lay before me and the multitude of possibilities. I’m overwhelmed….joyfully overwhelmed. And did a mention happy? Incredibly happy and inspired.
Here’s a pic or two of a work in progress.
Now back to work for me…sleepy sleepy work….good night all.
BANFF CENTRE CERAMICS STUDIO
The Ceramics Studio supports artists in the Visual Arts Creative Residencies program. Proposals for ceramics-based projects are accepted from artists applying for Creative Residencies. The Ceramics Studio offers an exceptional opportunity to work in a generous studio environment, with access to a broad range of equipment designed to support most aspects of contemporary ceramic practice. We are in close proximity to other studio areas such as sculpture, painting, printmaking, photography, and the Digital Film and Media Production department. Access to these facilities is possible through consultation with relevant facility supervisors. Interaction and collaboration with artists in these areas and others is encouraged as part of a residency experience, and our expert staff will do their best to help facilitate your projects. Please consult with the ceramics facilitator to determine the needs for your project at least two weeks prior to your arrival in Banff. For more information contact:

Medalta day 5
Almost supper time and I’m feeling a bit behind. Today was not terribly productive in terms of physical work that I wanted to get accomplished, but it has been an incredibly thought provoking day with many chats around the studio which are making my brain buzz. Dialogues on functionality, grad school, audience, expectations, reasoning and justification for making art. Far too complex to summarize in any cohesive manner, I guess you just had to be here…
Here’s hoping this evening is a bit more hands on productive for me. Another late night I guess (not that I’m complaining – it’s been glorious to work 14 hour days!) In the meantime here’s some pics of Robin and Paul working away.
