New mug molds just finished. I prefer to make separate handle molds for my mugs because I don’t like the dimples that occur on the inside where the body meets the handle. I’ll post more pics of this mug once the mold dries out enough to pour, which in these humid Indiana days could be forever 😫 — — — — — — — — — #stillmakingpots #ceramics #moldmaking #slipcast #slipcasting #pottery #mugs #plaster #process #wip #workinprogress #handmade #handmadepottery #x10studios #damnhumidity https://www.instagram.com/p/BnUrFzlgyVk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4axscczko4fk

My first attempt at a deconstructed 3D book. Made while at Penland. Inspired in part by Julie Leonard’s slide presentation. Over-beaten abaca sheets wrapped around steel wire with embedded book text. — — — — — — — — — — — #penlandschoolofcrafts #penlandpaper #paperandplace #papermaking #artistsofinstagram #artist #paperart #paperartist #3dbooks #papersculpture #sculpture #3dart #poetry #poetryandart #x10studios #therewasbeauty

I made these paper casts during my paper making workshop at Penland with Ann Marie Kennedy. I’m itching to do more with these shapes and this process. @paperhouse17 @penlandschool — — — — — — — — — — #papermaking #papersculpture #artistsofinstagram #penlandschoolofcrafts #paperandplace #paperart #paperartist #newwork #wip

This little buddy got left at Penland in the shuffle of leaving. Hope I didn’t inconvenience whoever found it. Also my luggage with all my flat sheets got delayed but it was shipped to me today, thankfully. — — — — — — — — #artistsofinstagram #artcamp #penlandschoolofcrafts #packingsucks #paper #papersculptures #papermakingworkshop (at Penland School of Crafts)

Found my way to Penland School of Crafts yesterday. Getting ready for an intense two and half weeks learning, making art, meeting new people and working hard. Couldn’t be more excited. - - - - - #artistsoninstagram #planepicture #traveling #artcampforadults #penlandschoolofcrafts #newhorizon (at Penland School of Crafts)
