Melt my Heart

I decided to try my hand at my own blog. I just started but take a look and see what you think.

Something New

Davis' studio

I like to tinker with the excess of my production. Organizing and searching for new places for all of these little pieces. If you look up tinker, you may find something like, "manipulating unskillfully or experimentally", and " to busy oneself with a thing without useful results". What is useful? In the image above I wanted to see how these branchlike forms looked when I positioned them in a way that they were not made for.
On top, fiddling with digitally manipulated, deformed clones.

Oops! SORRY! Missed the summer action!

So I dropped the ball on what I did over the summer but here's what I did over Thanksgiving weekend!!

eXtreme craft

this past week extreme craft's garth johnson visited the osu art department!

if you weren't there...you missed out...BIG TIME!

Hey Guys. I just had a small show at The Clay Studio, Philadelphia. I was in Philly for the opening and i have to say the newly expanded space looks fantastic. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

Summer....

I learned how to make lace. Now I can't stop.

Here are a few things I did this summer....

We attended two fairs this summer. This was the first time I have visited the Ohio State Fair and gee-whiz did we have a great time. It was a life changing event, Katie Parker left with a whole printing press, and I cant get that live stock smell out of the car.
The second event was the Renegade Craft Fair Chicago. Rain, Naomi, Katie, and I set up booths [ the blue ones in the pictures above ] and sold our work. Seriously thousands of people came out, and I think we left a good impression on Chicago. I told everyone about the Ohio State University Ceramics program, and a few had already read this blog.
In the studio I was trying to figure out how to fire this large porcelain bird and keep it from slumping over, but then realized how I could make the bending work to my advantage.
