Last Day of Class

The sculpture in the foreground is of the model,
she agreed to photographs
while dressed.

Honeoye Lake Pot

I made this pot and saucer this week,
sitting on a picnic table
looking at the lake.

New Sculpture Begins Thursday

This sculpture was started today and will be worked on Friday, too.
It is a full body sculpture of a live model, one quarter scale.
Hopefully, we will be able to find a way to fire it once we are home, to preserve it.

Wednesday in NY

Jimmy's project this afternoon was to sculpt a torso from a live model.
This sculpture took him 2 hours.
I love it.

This evening Philippe invited the class visit his home workshop.
Amazing, inspiring, fun!

Honeoye, NY Workshop

Jim is enjoying (very much) a week long workshop with Philippe Faraut in Honeoye, NY. This was today's project. Nice job, Jimmy!

Tiger Grouting

Tiger's belly is grouted.

Tiger's back is grouted.

Tiger gets a facial with grout.

Making Waves

I have three projects in progress
and a fourth design already in mind.

This morning I am cutting and placing glass waves,
my first experience cutting glass shapes.
I have three band aids on my hands so far....

Tiger Grooming

Tiger likes to get brushed.
Jim is cleaning the thinset off the tiles to make the tiger sparkle.

Last Tiger Tile

The last glass tile gets placed Friday night.
How many tiles are on the tiger?
Hopefully, we will never have to answer that question!

Fireworks

Fireworks on the 4th of July.
Happy Holiday!

Tiger Paws

Tiger is having his "nails done" on the 4th of July.
