Roxy Lentz replied to John Lunn's discussion I wrote this on the plane back home from Las Vegas... in the group Tapestry of Talents: Bringing Your Whole Voice to Your Craft"Thanks John for sharing that. But I wonder, do these people who ask why you make exquisite flutes ask Channel why they put so much work into the invisible part of a jacket? Do they ask a pastry chef why they put so much work into something that will…"
Roxy Lentz replied to John Lunn's discussion Is the funnel half full or half empty? in the group Tapestry of Talents: Bringing Your Whole Voice to Your Craft"John, you should see this YouTube video of kids in Paraguay who make flutes from the trash in the landfill they live on.

I don't use PMC, so I am not sure what you had looked like, but it sounds like it turned into a flat ingot. I would hammer it out flatter, shape it, see what happened. "

Brenda Schweder said… Ooooo! Nummy! I'm still on the photo part of the submission. A friend who wants to get into this type of work is trying, but the results aren't spectacular yet, except for one. Plus, I'm holding out 'til this weekend as I'm determined to come up with yet another couple of pieces that I can choose from.
You are right about VDV . . . I'll be over the top with just one piece in that show!

Dear Roxy,
Welcome to crafthaus, the network for fine craft artists and those who support them! I am very glad you joined us! Your crafthaus membership is valid through Feb 15, 2013.
Please look around and add your thoughts to the groups, blogs and discussions. Crafthaus is a participatory sport!
Please note that ALL images sent to the website editor are vetted to assure a measure of overall quality control. Unlike other image sharing websites, crafthaus is not a "free-for-all". Our members present their work in front of an educated and critical audience (their peers,) so the photos have to be GREAT. Our goal is to show our members' work in the best possible light. From the many images received daily, we aim to post as many as possible. Crafthaus heartily encourages comments from the membership, however, with regard to photos posted or not, we have a strict "NO WHINING" policy in effect! :-)
If there are ever any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to email me via crafthauseditor@live.com anytime, I will do my best to be of help.
I hope you will enjoy being with this network, and will find the exchanges interesting and fun.
Again: Welcome !
Brigitte Martin

Interviewing NCECA 2013 Emerging Artist Linda Swanson
NCECA 2013 Emerging Artist Linda Swanson makes us think about ceramic materials in a new and dynamic way. Her installation, site specific, fired and unfired work all has an emphasis on time, material and transformation. Linda generously shared her time and thoughts with me about her current studio practice and the path that has led her there. I hope you enjoy this interview with Linda Swanson.
