Chicken Farm Class!

All of us at the Farm!

All the chicks are here and ready for their first class! Randy is throwing on the wheel. Within minutes, Randy has a pot already started.  

As we watched, this cylinder began to change and develop into one of Randy's amazing creations!

Guess what..... I get to keep it!!!! Yahoo!! Don't know how I'll get it home, but I'll be protecting it with my life!!!

Flying to Texas!!!!

Imagine . . .  Eight women set free to roam the lone star state of Texas?  After bag checks, body checks and SCREAMING babies we are all on our way to Dallas.  Armed and gaining a lot of attention we are all geared up in our BRIGHT "pretty in pink" t shirts.  Aunt Gail is picking us up at the airport when our family of eight will become a family of nine.  Maybe, after a restful night in Dallas we will set out across the Texas countryside to San Angelo for National Ceramic Week.  We are all so very excited but we already miss the peeps that could not come with us this time.  We hope you are all reading this and missing us too.Adios  Amigas!!!

GRAB YOUR T-SHIRTS AND COWBOY HATS... WE'RE GOIN' TO TEXAS!

The time has finally come ...... the trip to Texas we've all been waiting for.  Nine of you brave Chicks have spurred up the courage (that's Texas talk) to spend four wonderful days creating pottery in San Angelo, Texas.  We leave this Weds. for Dallas.  Thursday, we'll travel through the beautful Texas countryside to San Angelo and the Old Chicken Farm Art Center. Where we will begin our first workshop with renouned potter (and my good friend) Randy Brodnax.  His enthusiasm and wide range of information will set the stage for the next four days. (I heard this year we were going to get to build a Texas Glow Worm Kiln.  I am so excited.  You chicks wil LOVE it!) There are so many other activites for you to participate in.  Friday night we have the Opening Reception  of the 18th San Angelo National Ceramic Competition at the Museum of Fine Arts.  Saturday, we have a day long workshop with Invited Artist Susan Beiner at the Old Chicken Farm Art Center. On Saturday evening, guests , visitors and participants all partake of the Texas Barbecue Dinner, a long standing tradition of the Ceramic Weekend.  I have put together a package with all the information on all of the weekends activities, or you can simply go to the website. I can promise you, you will all go home full of ideas, energy and a great willingness to jump in and begin creating!!!!!
