2014-02-19 - Wednesday - Bowls and trips and such

Got my last bowls back from the firing and was pleased with the new things I tried.

I ran by Clayworks to pick up the Bowling for Dollars bowls and take them to Shelby.  The Bowling for Dollars event was scheduled for the next day so I had to get them there at the last minute thanks to the bad weather we had last week.

Ju-Ian walked into the studio just as I was getting ready to leave.  She wanted to see the Treasures of the Earth show at the Cleveland County Arts Council so she accompanied me on my trip.  We enjoyed the ride and the show but had to hurry back to Charlotte since Ju-Ian had supper plans and I had to get to class.

Last of my 2014 bowls.

Planning on a major handle for pot on the left.
Wasn't crazy about the other one so I started a face on it.

February 9 - Treasures of the Earth opening

Thursday was the opening night for the Treasures of the Earth show at the Cleveland County Arts Council in Shelby.  It was quite the affair hosting many talented potters from the area.

As I mentioned previously, terra4m is honored to be displaying as a group for the first time at this show and we were all in attendance.  The show will run through March 14, 2012.  If you get a chance, check it out.

February 6 - Treasures of the Earth setup

Monday we (terra4m:  Becky, Elaine, Kim, and I) went to Shelby to set up for the Treasures of the Earth show.  We were invited by our friend Corine to show as a group in the annual event.  It was the first time we have showed as a group with our work mixed together and I think our different styles compliment each other nicely.

After the setup we enjoyed a nice meal with Corine and her husband Hal.  Good food is always better with good company so the meal was excellent.

We will all come back Thursday evening for the opening.  It should be fun.
