11. presentations of our studio work

Late afternoon on Saturday, we had our final presentations. Each of us spent a few minutes talking about our time in the studio, what we experimented with, what our feelings were about it, and what we may plan to do with these explorations in the future.

We all explored different things.  Lori continued her work with screen melts and slumped and tack fused compositions.  Natali worked with wood, shaping boat forms.  Ann worked in concrete, Leigh made sample color and pattern tiles with frit and powder, Suzanne and Laura worked in the powder painting technique.  Abhilasha worked in the cold room with plate glass and did a pâté de verre piece.  Marti did a box casting and powder painting, Cindy pulled stringer and shaped them into compositions and made sample tiles.  Louise fused morelli canes, worked on the lathe, and made cubes from a pattern bar.  Miriam explored painting glass powder paste with a palette knife.  Jerre also made color tiles and then cast them together.  Estelle continued her explorations in trying to recreate Japanese indigo dyed fabric and made bells.  Denise worked with powder wafers and enamels.  And I, of course, worked on powder wafers and powder painting.
