woohoo. i received an amazing invitation today.

these here people-


have invited my to be a guest artist this year.
the guy on the far right, with the beard, and the tan cap- he was my professor when i was a student at the art institute, many moons ago. i happened to get to know his wife, the lady in the middle with the red sweater. i didn't do clay for a very long time, but have a studio in a co-op now. she is a guest at our sale every year.

i always thought that this guy thought i was a worm. just kinda the way he treated students. but i have seen him a few times, and i think mostly because i am still doing clay after all these years, he treats me like i might actually be an artist. i make work that artists like, but nobody buys. it is hard to figure out what to think of myself. fortunately, i do not have to sell to eat. but still.....

anyway, i have been invited to be a guest at their home/studio. i can't believe it.

4. Don't go! It's a trap!

I count only SIXTEEN dirty hands!

[mopinko]

5. haha. you funny.

yeah, they lost a couple of hands, which is one reason they have room for me.
sadly, one big reason was politics. things are pretty ugly for liberals in galena.

8. three days, but

most of these folks are partners in a couple of wood kilns, and i am hoping that i can go ahead of time and get some stuff into a firing. they have been kind enough to include me in the past, and it is mega-fun.
our website sucks eggs, but here are a couple of pics-
