Time to give a little love back….

by | Jan 24, 2011 | call for entry, emerging artist, job posting, monday morning eye candy, movie day, residency opportunity, show us your influences, technical tuesday

Maybe it’s because Hallmark is shoving candy hearts down my throat, or maybe it’s just because I have such amazing readers…but i reckon it’s time to give a little love back and share some more from the amazing readers of musing with another “Artist of the day” month. Think back to December of 2009 or April of 2009 (wow i let a whole year go by without a month long showcase? Why didn’t you all revolt?!)

So here’s the drill:
You – send me some jpeg images of your amazing (primarily clay based) work; a brief bio or write up about your work; a website link or means for your adoring fans to get in touch with you.
Me – I’ll promise to post an artist a day for the entire month of February. First come, first serve basis. If you send it, it will be posted. This is not juried.

Why? Because it’s a great way for you to get your work shown to a wide audience of art lovers that make up this wonderful and supportive clay community. Plus it makes the blog look extra special gorgeous on a day to day basis. And well, maybe just maybe, there might be a prize in the mix somewhere…..(gotta be in it to win it right?!)

So send your images, etc. ASAP to [email protected]
Please help me out by putting “artist of the day” in the subject line.
And if you know of someone whose work should be shown here, please, please pass this post along.

Alright guys – now it’s in your hands!

2nd International Symposium of Overglaze-Underglaze Paintings 2011

by | Jan 13, 2011 | Uncategorized

20 June-1 July 2011 as Anadolu University Faculty of Fine Arts Ceramics Department, Anadolu
University, Eskisehir-TURKEY.

The theme of the symposium is to make ceramic artworks by applying overglaze-underglaze paints on particular forms which will reflect the artists’ unique style and techniques. While making overglaze- underglaze paintings, subject and technique will be decided by the artists.
Intention of the symposium is to make the ceramic artists and lecturers of different cultures come together, both from Turkey and from abroad. We believe this will create an ambiance that enables communication by sharing experiences, having the opportunity to discuss techniques and ideas. We hope that artists will get to know each other better and we desire for participants to enjoy international cultural exchange.
