Hooowl for the arts

Every year Seminole Cultural Arts Council holds "Hoowl for the Arts" where they have Seminole County artists create masks, and then auction them off for charity.  This was my entry for this year's contest.  I'll keep you posted on if my entry gets selected for the auction.

 

Getting ready for the fall..

Its never too early to start working on projects for the holidays.  Below are a pair of my pinch pot pumpkins.  This is a fun, fast, and easy project for the fall months!

A few recent pieces from my students..

Here are a few new pieces from my students at the Casselberry Art House.  Classes there start again tomorrow and I can't wait!  I miss the clay and my students so much over the breaks!

Yet more bulletin boards..

With the start of a new year comes new bulletin board designs.  Here are two that I did for the ITMS special education classroom.  The first one was really fun.  It displayed current events and fun facts from the past 20 years since it was the school's 20th anniversary.  The one at the bottom was Dr. Seuss themed.

Summer Camp

I was an assistant at the summer camp at Maitland Art Center this summer.  Check out this awesome display of talent as we celebrated our last day of camp!

A simple slab project...

Cupcakes

Lately I have been using Pinterest a lot to get new ideas for pottery lessons and projects.  I saw some cupcakes on there and thought they would be fun to make.  Here is my version of the clay cupcake:
