LAURA ROSS PRESENTATION:
Laura gave a wonderful talk and slide show
of her work. It is always
fascinating to see how an artist develops through the years and the changes in
the work. One of Laura’s first
loves, besides clay, is travel.
She included pictures of the places she has been that most influenced
her work. It was uncanny to see
the similarities. Lesson learned:
Inspiration is a lot closer than you think. The message was loud and clear, nature is the potter’s
friend! One picture that comes to
mind is the thatched African hut.
Laura made a small, lidded piece that mimicked the form and the effect
was absolutely beautiful. Thank
you, Laura, for making it a most memorable meeting!
BLUEGRASS
BOURBON SHOW:
It
has been established that KMAC is on a new path. While our show will still take place, the actual date may
change. There is a good chance
that the show will either be on the 1st or the 3rd
floor. In the meantime, we are
going ahead with the submissions but allowing a little extra time for those of
you who find you may not be able to make the May 1st deadline. You have an extra month to submit your
bottles. Dolita is receiving
submissions daily and they increase in numbers as May 1st
approaches. An interesting piece
of news is that KMAC may try to coordinate the show with the introduction of a
new bourbon by Brown Forman. Aldy
Milliken, the new head of KMAC, is diligently working to procure funding and
sponsorship for the show.
HOME THROWN/HOME GROWN:
Janet
has sent out final instructions to everyone via email so everything is set.
TENTH ANNIVERSARY SHOW:
The
show will run from Oct. 19 to Dec. 31. The reception will take place on Oct. 19th
from 5:30 to 9:30. The name
of the show is: ‘Breaking the Mold – Louisville Clay’s 10th
Anniversary Show’. The split will
be 60/40 with 60% going to the artists. There will be two drop off dates: one
will be an early drop off for those of you who would like to be included in the
marketing material used for the show, and the other will be closer to the
actual show. Go here: http://power2give.org/kentucky/Project/Detail?projectId=693 to see what they are doing for the show so far.
The
show will be all-inclusive and all members are encouraged to submit one or two
pieces of their best work. The
Weber Gallery (http://webergallery.org/)
is part of the organization The Council on Developmental Disabilities, of which
Candy Wheat, one of our members, is an instructor. The show will also be an opportunity for Louisville Clay
members to partner with a disabled artist and perhaps present a collaborative
work. This is purely voluntary on
your part. There will be a number
of artists from the center in our show also. Candy tells us that they have a patronage of approximately
3000 so our work can reach a whole new audience. This is a wonderful opportunity for Louisville Clay to
celebrate our 10th year and be part of an outreach in our community.
THE PILOT HOUSE:
Dawn
Struck has been designated Art Director of the Art & History Museum in
Jeffersonville (The Pilot House).
She is hoping that Louisville Clay will consider holding meetings and
workshops there. For more
