Both so much, and seemingly so little, have happened since August.

A great first quarter at school with some fun new students, continuing students, and unique projects. It has felt long at times, but now we are looking at Thanksgiving break this coming week.

As I look back since the August update… The gallery show with John Eames and our etc… project was a great learning experience. I had committed (to myself) that I would participate in the More the Merrier show at the Art Ark and so working on that has been a good learning experience too. The closing reception is December 2nd and I have learned a few things from the opening reception that I can carry forward.

This has helped me with my regularity of working for myself. It is still very sporadic, but I am starting to get some ideas on a workflow that is realistic for where I am in life. I also appreciate that I do not have to make a living and don’t feel a strong desire for a “side hustle”. I enjoy making work, that turns out to be an eclectic mix of what I have started calling sketches. I have also been able to share this experience with students and talk about pricing, what people will pay for artwork, and topics around sales.

I am working on putting some abandoned artwork up in conjunction with the Peninsula Pottery and trying to clean out the studio as well as have some donations for Second Harvest.
