On the road again…

It’s time to start taking Cooke Ceramics on the road. Here are a few pictures from the kickoff show in LA. A big thanks to Caitlin for helping!

Studio Invasion

My studio has been invaded, and made official by the writing on the chalkboard…

by this SwissFrench man, Jean-Marc,

we both make…

and we’re collaborating on these…

Great things are about to come!

Girly man: the newest portrait on my fridge…

This is a portrait my former studio manager Jacob drew of the outfit he wants to wear to sell my pottery at summer fairs. I have put it on the fridge with all the other self portraits people have given me (apparently, I’m a self-portrait magnet)… I think the beard/tutu combination would really make pots move.

Not ready for March to end…

mainly because I like my March calendar.

Charley Harper: Lovey Dovey

I guess I’ll see what April has to offer.

I’m so happy…

we both showed up here.

A postcard my sister and I found at Lark Press, our grandfather’s typewriter, and a green mug that matches it perfectly.

 

Under Solen Media opened up their office in the Ford Building to photographer Rachel Meyer and me for the SE Art Walk this weekend.

Studio sounds of late…

Adele, Rolling in the Deep…

How many times does it take repeating the same song over and over again to annoy studiomates?

Trashion

I went to Junk to Funk this weekend, a fashion show of designs made from discarded materials, and saw some pretty amazing reuse…

Screened Nihilist by Jen LaMastra. Made from window screening, mini blinds, pop tab tops, and bicycle tubes.

 

Tea Time by Rio Wrenn. Made from 1,400 tea bags.

 

Beached Male by Traci Price. Made from a found rubber raft.

Fridge Portraits

I noticed a theme amongst the papers tacked on my fridge…self portraits.

Here is my aunt and how she feels in her swimsuit…

And my very good friends Jean-Marc and Jason wishing my sister a happy birthday…

and me, noseless, excited about my sister opening her Christmas present…

 

Giant Anteater

the newest addition to the animal family…

Thanks Jon Wagner!
