Cup/Form/Function

Beau Raymond
Beau was Debra Fritts studio assistant this summer. He has a great sense of humor and it comes through in his work. How does your personality influence the choices you make about your work? Think about it!!!

What makes a cup likeable? Is it how much it holds? Is it whether or not it fits in the drink holder of our car? Is it the color? Why do we like certain cups more than others? What cup gets used most in our house? Why? How does our culture influence the form? Why do cups look different in India, Japan, Thailand?

OPEN STUDIO/AUGUST 14TH FRIDAY!

FALL 2009

THE STUDIO WILL BE OPEN FROM 9-12 ON FRIDAY THE 14TH!
This is a good time to bring back the wheels you have checked out, and to bring in work you have made over the summer!
Wheel Throwers- Let's fill the gas kiln and get it fired!
Handbuilders/Sculpture People-Bring in torsos, or come in and glaze or cold finish what you have done.
There are some competitions coming up! Deadlines always approach faster than you think!
I have missed all of you, and look forward to seeing you soon!
I love summer, but I also love seeing all of you.
I got a sirius radio off Craigslist, so we might be able to listen to wider variety of music!
Yahoooo!

I made a bunch of full figures this summer! I can't wait to show them to you! I also am in the process of making a dinnerware set for my daughter. I have been busy this summer, and I can't wait to share all of my new ideas with you, and hear about yours! (Oh, and I almost forgot, I learned how to weld, so we will be working on a collaboration of metal and clay with Mr. Ashley next door! I am so excited!!!!!


You have my number!
Please call if you have questions!
Come to open studio! It will be fun!!!
