2016 Ceremonial Gowns

                                                                 Ceremonial Gowns
                                                                         Japan

Art museums often have on display ceremonial gowns from past celebrations thru the centuries.  Often these gowns were of the finest materials with special attention to detail and design.  I had this idea that maybe I could construct similar gowns out of clay.  I had learned to sew many years ago and make many of my clothes.  Using these skill, I set out to construct gowns from clay that were worthy of the most important celebrations.  After construction, I embellished them with carving, giving them depth and the feeling of fine brocades.  Each piece was raku fired and the colors of copper sweep up each gown.

                                                                           France

These gowns will be part of an exhibit at the Milton Roades Center for the Arts in Winston- Salem, NC.  This Artist Spotlight is presented by Associated Artists of Winston-Salem. The dates for this exhibit are January 8 thru February 2.  

My spring schedule will follow in the next month.  There are many new ideas in the works.  Stay tuned.  Let me know what you think of this new idea!

Schedule for October and November 2015

                    Schedule: October and November

                                           2015

      Friends with hats.  These girls are all about their hats.  Women in the 1900's always had beautiful hats to go with their dresses and gowns.  I love hats and this was my inspiration to create these girls.  Their hats are special with feathers and roses and glamour!
       This summer I have worked hard to complete my orders, including one for the Chamber of Commerce in Winston-Salem, NC.  I won an award of excellence in Blowing Rock, Art in the Park this summer.  Now I am focusing on fall.  My first show in October was cancelled in Williamsburg, Va. as were most shows on the east coast due to weather.  Now the sun will come out and a beautiful fall is in store for us all.  I hope that you will come visit me at an art show near you.

Summer Schedule 2015

Summer is the time to spend in the studio developing new ideas.  I love to have time in my schedule to work on all of the ideas I have been saving.  I am always making sketches of new form, textures and composition.
Sometimes it is nice just to have the time to figure out construction of new forms.  That is what I love about hand building in clay.  If you can dream a shape, hopefully you can figure out  how to build it out of soft clay.  Clay can have clean edges or be soft and flowing.  Who knows were the clay will lead me!  Stay tuned!
