Sac City College:

Made Oli’s Casting Slip

Sodium silicate is a magical thing. Some tablespoon of it mixed in another tablespoon of water changed a chunky too-thick-for-the-griddle-pancake-mix texture into a smooth, viscous slip. Well, not completely, but I could see the process starting to happen. 

I’ll post the recipe for the casting slip. One day I’ll need to get a video of the remarkable transformation.

Interview with Manjar Ceramics:

It was awesome having the opportunity to chat with Alejandra. Both of us wished we’d had business training as part of our BA, so I’ve become increasingly convinced that these kinds of conversations -- asking other artists how they do what they do and handle the business of being an artist -- is necessary not only to fill that gap in our educations, but to build a community of artists sharing information and supporting each other. 

Alejandra was very forthcoming. She got her teaching credential and had been teaching ceramics full time at a high school before the stress of the bureaucracy forced a change in her life. Or rather, she made a step to make that change. She believes in “ceramics as a way of life”. You’re an artist all the time, not just putting on the metaphorical fancy beret for the two hours you’re in the studio. It takes a lot of time, a lot of effort. Thank god I’m not the only one who finds that hard to manage sometimes.

Some overall points:

There is a small business program offered through Sac City at their West Sac campus -- short, 1-unit classes that sound like they’d be helpful.

Online markets for indie stores are a place to sell, Midtown Sac has proved a good market for her work rather than more suburban areas.

Taxes *shriek*. Filing as an LLC protects your own assets from being sued, and you can also be a Sole Proprietor. Keep receipts for at least a year. 

If you get an Employee Identification Number, you can get discounts at some stores when you get supplies for the business.

Trimmed 5 mugs. Getting a little faster, still averaging about 8 mins. to trim.

Today was a good day. Don't ever let anyone tell you peaceful protest can't create change. The power is in the people. An estimated 10000 water protectors, the native elders leading everyone in prayer, song & intention, the journalists willing to cover the #nodapl movement, the many people who made phone calls, offered donations, prayer and meditation, our brave veterans & politicians like @berniesanders ... everyone together made it clear to the us army corps of engineers and president @barackobama that injustice could be no longer. THANK YOU. Always remember days like today when you're afraid to lift your voice & peacefully oppose injustice. This is a small victory. Pipelines are everywhere. Corporate greed is everywhere. The fight for our planet must be won daily by the individual. Divest from the companies and banks that value money over life & sustainability. LOVE & CONGRATS to our native people for awakening the USA. LOVE to the indigenous elders worldwide. Mother Earth needs you. #Repost @jasonpiercephoto ・・・ The power of non-violent direct action.

#Repost @yeee4shaadie with @repostapp. ・・・ #tbt my first time back on the field doing 1-on1s from a 9 year absence of football. Last time I was on the field competing was 2000 as a 9th grader at #jessebethelhighschool when I broke my arm. After that I blew up in track & stuck with that thru college even though I had many chances to play ball again. After leaving #calberkeley in 2006 I ended up at #SacCityCollege in 2009 when I wasn't able to get to #jcsu in #NorthCarolina. #Shaadie #football #saccityfootball #WR #collegefootball
