Thanks to everyone who came out to greet Pablo and Beverly Solomon this weekend. We had fun with them – we even got a chance to visit the Matisse show at SAMA. It’s astonishingly good and wonderfully annotated. Pablo had just read a two volume biography of Matisse and entertained us with some funny, slightly racy behind-the-scenes commentary.
Sunday’s Earthshard Pendant Workshop was a quiet respite from the excitement of the Solstice festivities and Pablo Solomon’s successful opening. Many thanks to Ann Pearce for being my collaborator on this session – I always learn so much from her (and from the workshop attendees). Later in the week, I’ll pass along some information about how we did the finishes on our earthenware pendants (below). Happy Monday, All!
- The worktable for finishing the fired earthenware faces
- First comes the walnut ink for definition
- Joe-Beth’s pewter and soft copper finish
- LeAnn’s Art Deco creation
- Dani’s work in progress – gorgeous colors
- Joe-Beth’s finished pendant
- Lyn’s Solstice pendant – with help from Ann Pearce!
