This week in the studio was spent working on personalized mugs and tumblers. I received an order to make Christmas presents. Here are some pictures of them.
Last week in the studio wasn't spent in my studio, but touring the studios at University of Colorado in Boulder. I got to see where all the classes are held and even the private studios for the ceramics graduate program. They have a fabulous set up. I also walked down Pearl Street and saw many of the Boulder art galleries. My favorite was the working artists gallery, Boulder Arts and Crafts Cooperative. I loved the variety of pieces form hats, pottery, paintings, to beautiful metal signs. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing all of it. One of the highlights of my trip was drinking a nice cup of chai at the Dushanbe Teahouse which was given to Boulder by Tajikistan. It had ornately carved pillars in traditional Persian designs. I am inspired to research more Persian patterns that I would like to carve on pottery pieces. Here is a picture of the interior of the teahouse.
