The Fall Academic semester is slated to begin tomorrow, and I can't wait. I went up to Lamar earlier in this week and packed up all the stuff I had sitting in the Art House ( small grad studio ) and turned in my keys for the building. I had been given the right to use the building when ever I was in Thesis for Sculpture. Since I dropped out of Sculpture, I no longer have a need for it nor a want to use it. It was nice though, having a free studio space to use.
I mixed clay with a good friend of mine earlier in the week also. I don't know what it is about me and clay, but I always get covered from head to toe. I looked like a mess, and we went out to eat at an upper scale restaurant, looking like a mess. I kept expecting someone to tell me I wasn't allowed to eat there. That never happened though, and the food I ate was pretty damn good.
I can't wait to get started in the clay. I caught up with all my work at my job on Friday which means I'll be able to leave early and go get started in ceramics before class begins. I'm excited!
I have ordered about 20 towels and 15 aprons which I am going to have embroidered for my ceramics class. There are 11 advanced students, and I'm sure they're all going to love having a ceramics apron. They are vanilla/sandalwood colored so they won't stick out as much when they're covered in clay. The towels are really nice, 16x28" golf towels, grommeted and with hooks.
Anywho, I apologize for the lack of updates. I have been rather busy as of late, specifically with my job. We had so many orders this past week, the busiest I've ever seen us. But finally, we're caught up and I can start enjoying what I do again.
I'll post an update this week on the towels / aprons and hopefully get pictures up. I plan on going into production mode this week, I am aiming for 200 items in the first month. 100 mugs, hopefully. Making handles is one of my largest problems, so I'm wanting to finally knock that out. Wish me luck!
