Welcome to 2013! The month rapidly drawing toward a close. I spent the early part of January at lovely Curaumilla Arts Center<\/a>, about 45 minutes from Valparaiso, Chile, on a bluff over the Pacific Ocean, making pots with a lovely group of people who included Suze\u00a0Lindsay and Kent McLaughlin, Randy Johnston and Jan McKeachie\u00a0Johnston, and Doug Casebeer. A great time! Chilean potter Pelusa\u00a0Rosenthal and her husband, Andres, \u00a0founded this place 6 years ago, and it’s a dream made real. NCECA\u00a0has partnered with them to offer a sponsored residency at Curaumilla. Info at http:\/\/www.nceca.net\/static\/conference_symposia.php<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Deadline to apply is Feb. 1, coming right up!<\/p>\n

Curaumilla pictures are in an album on my Facebook page. You’ll have to friend me to see them. It’s remote, so beautiful, and has a wood and a soda kiln. It’s off the grid with power by generator and right on the ocean. People there are welcoming and helpful. A great residency if you want to do wood and soda. I loved the people, the place, and the time there.<\/p>\n

I haven’t been in my own studio\u00a0much. Holiday break was spent\u00a0catching up and trying to prep things for school, which began spring term w\/o me – thanks to my excellent colleagues Nan Smith, Anna Calluori Holcombe, our invaluable tech Ray Gonzales, and the energetic TAs who took over my classes for the first 2 weeks, Marty Fielding <\/a>and Cheyenne Rudolph<\/a>. Both are accomplished potters with studio experience before returning to grad school.<\/p>\n

I’m thinking about upcoming workshops, and the loss of\u00a0my go-to majolica decorating product, AMACO\u00a0GDC\u00a0colors, discontinued\u00a0last December. Some are still available from AMACO’s outlet, Brickyard,<\/a> but\u00a0they will be extinct eventually. \u00a0I did find an article written by David Gamble earlier about majolica decorating colors, on Ceramic Arts Daily:
\nhttp:\/\/www.ceramicartdaily.net\/booksales\/Electric_Gamble2.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m working on getting some of the A.R.T. products, but spring term is crazymadbusy, and I’m 2 weeks behind. On the personal front, I’m still pursuing a cure for my persistent Lyme disease, now going on over a year. I’m seeing a specialist in Tampa, 2 hours away, and he seems well-informed and plans to have me back on I.V. antibiotics soon. Not hard, but it all takes more time. So, the results of product testing will be slow in coming, but I’ll post when I get there.<\/p>\n

I hope anyone with other news on solutions will comment. I’m thinking I just need to mix so I don’t have to change again if a product disappears, but for workshops, the commercial products are so easy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
