Moving my studio and still making. Being a bad bloggerJohnKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07958177261416135809noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20823853.post-19561712078652974882012-07-19T18:16:00.002-04:002012-07-19T18:20:13.884-04:00It is still happening, my life that is. Unfolding in unpredictable ways as I try to make stuff. When I say Stuff I know that some take me as less than serious, but that is not the case. I AM TOTALLY SERIOUS AND DEDICATED TO MAKING ART, sorry for shouting but it's true.<br />
<br />
It's $$$ that is always in the way and taking up time. This weekend we will be doing another show, outdoors away from the studio. I have reading material and projects that are mobile.<br />
<br />
wish us well<br />
<br />
I haven't forgotten the video project. There hasn't been much of a response, have you all abandoned me? Oh No, my worst fear, well one of them<br />

I rarely get into the studio, and have really been reconsidering the whole idea of concentrating so much on making. It is hard when there is very little feedback or opportunity for showing. Maybe I am just depressed.

<br />
Trying to figure out how to be involved in the art world and make money.<br />
I miss teaching. :( <br />
<br />
I am in my studio right now looking at boxes and boxes of work that most people have never seen. If you have any ideas, or a gallery, let me know<br />

It's taken me a bit of time to post because the truth is I am a bit sad that I won't be teaching at MICA in the fall. It isn't all bad news though. The course material construction will be offered again in the spring 2011, and I will be there trying to inspire another group. Wow I love teaching!!!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lC77Mdn0wSw/TFrDQKCqrWI/AAAAAAAAAsM/2PvjTHmVMag/s1600/RachelCfinaldetail.JPG"><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lC77Mdn0wSw/TFrDP4O_0lI/AAAAAAAAAsE/wjxz0KdCGhI/s1600/RachelCfinal.JPG"><br /></a>JohnKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07958177261416135809noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20823853.post-26718161905647581772010-04-27T11:11:00.003-04:002010-04-27T11:44:48.266-04:00Part 1 - final critThe 1st section of the final project crit was this Monday.

I have loved teaching this class from the very first moment.<br /><br />The students are all very engaged and interested and that makes my job that much easier and exciting.<br /><br />I'm hoping to give updates here at the blog and hopefully get some images of things that are going on in the class.<br /><br />The first 2 sessions have been devoted to the most basic of machine stuff. casting on and off and some stitch manipulation. I can see some frustrations but there is a learning curve. <br /><br />Now that we have gone over the basics the real fun should begin as everyone takes control of their machines and really starts creating.<br /><br />I am soooooo excitedJohnKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07958177261416135809noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20823853.post-11931121011952436372009-12-18T14:02:00.001-05:002009-12-18T14:02:32.227-05:00this seems likely to happen<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9vPfOjAw5Z0&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9vPfOjAw5Z0&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>JohnKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07958177261416135809noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20823853.post-91824923625369205732009-12-17T16:54:00.001-05:002009-12-17T16:54:43.356-05:00<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/DXwUNV1xzr0&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/DXwUNV1xzr0&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>JohnKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07958177261416135809noreply@blogger.com0
