Travel to the JCC

We got to visit the JCC (Jewish Community Center) in Mullica Hill. I had the opportunity to make slab bowls with senior citizens. It was me, my boss Abbie and her two kids, Lacey and Sydney who went on the travel. The travel started at 10:30 and ended at 12. We have 42 pieces made and the place was packed. We started off where all four of us went to different tables and demonstrated how to make a slab bowl. You start off with wedging your clay. Then you roll out your clay with a rolling pin. We hand each person a plastic bowl that is covered in parchment paper. After the clay is rolled into a slab, they flip there plastic bowl over and trace the edge on the bowl. Then you place the clay inside the bowl. After that they can begin designing. We brought different cookie cutters so that everyone can add different shapes to there bowl if they choose. We also had some people get fancy with how they designed the edge. Some of them made the edge look kind of like a pie crust. It was fun t...

I was really excited to start work with Kay. We decided on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 11-6. We would get all of our time in before she left for her first residency in Sweden. I was excited to be around for her prepping for that, to see and hear about what all was involved in the process. Kay had also received a couple grants that I was grateful to learn about as well. I knew it would be very valuable for me to work with Kay and understand how she works, because I don't really know a lot about the connectivity and business side of living as an artist. I think understanding the really functional behind the scenes parts of being a visual artist like that can really make a huge difference in your success and ability to do work freely. My first day, Kay gave me a greater overview of the studio and where stuff is kept, where we'd be working mostly and what materials we would be using. Her studio is insanely well organized, she has an inventory spreadsheet of every box that ...

Day 2-3 Dolores piece. On our second time meeting, I met Dolores. Dolores is an artist who has been living in the senior center for about a year. She was a master of weaving but couldn't weave anymore since there wasn't any loom where she lived. Finally she got a loom and she asked us to help thread it. It was chaotic. It made no sense to me what the problem was because I was a new weaver. I learnt the biggest lesson: to NEVER choose ONE COLOR. That is it. when you choose multiple colours of thread, is easier to thread a loom because you know what thread is next, but in her case they were all white so we had to almost guess. Of course by the end the threads were so tangled we had to redo so many of them. It was a great experience to live becouse I got to see the process in the most complicated case and Myra's loom seemed easyer compare to what we did on the second day. Dolores was also such a good contact because she is very knowledgeable  and we got to talk about art...
