CAA- Ceramics Annual of America

Last weekend in Fort Mason was the  event for Ceramics Annual of America 

I was really excited to see all the different artist and their works. 

Many of my friends are in the show,so it made the trip even more special.

Above is Juan Miguel Santiago's work, which I really really LOVE,

the surface, form and idea is just so right on. 

Lauren Ari

Karl McDade

I Just love his statement, it's so witty! 

also, I got invited by Karl to be part of the gravy boat show in DVC.

can't wait to start working on that :-)

anyway, there are so many works to look at, 

I just got overwhelm by all the works so didn't take that many photos. 

wish you enjoy seeing my blog and get a little idea of this show :-)

Herb & Dorothy

I recently watched a documentary call "Herb & Dorothy"

it was really inspiring to watch.

Chronicling the story of unlikely art collectors Herb Vogel and Dorothy Vogel, filmmaker Megumi Sasaki demonstrates that it's not necessary to be wealthy in order to build a significant collection in this fascinating documentary. A postal clerk and a librarian, the Vogels share a passion for art, which they pursued over decades, becoming two of the most important collectors of minimalist and conceptual art with more than 4,000 pieces.

It really open up my mind of collect the work that I thought I can't afford it.

Now most of Jason and mine collection are mostly smaller pottery functionalware 

maybe... it will start to change soon....

anyway, if you want to see this film you can find in on Netflix, and you can watch it online.

playing with new app...

I LOVE my iphone,

because I love taking photo of random stuff all the time

and it's not so great to carry camera with me the whole time (because of the weight)

so iphone fix that problem for me :-)

anyway, I just want to test out the picture quality of the iphone

so I just want to post it and see it!

and these are my last batch before I took a break 

(because of the crazy summer camp, so can't make anything right now)

If they looks okay online, I might just use my iphone for all my etsy photos.

so... what do you think?

half way summer report

well....after all the craft show and summer camp, really tired me up

but after two weeks of watching endless youtube taiwanese TV and getting a iphone

I am all feeling better and ready to make more work :-) 

Last week whole week I was helping Jason setting up his show in college of Marin

It was a lot of hard work, we paint the pedestal, sanding pieces, touch up wall and many more.

but in the end it is totally worth it!!

well...while I was there, I took many photos with my new toy(iphone)

but still have to organize it before I put them on :-)

and sorry for not posting any Jason's work, 

because he don't want people to see his work till the artist reception

(Which is Sep,1 Wednesday from 7-9pm)

hope to see you there!!!

Jason's show card

well...after the intense week of summer camp and weekend show

I finally got some time to rest.

now is time to make show card for Jason's solo show

so this two are my favorite, we still need wait for the feed back from the gallery director

but I think Jason only sent out the first image

anyway... I love making show cards :-)

Renegade Craft fair

This weekend is my first year in Renegade craft fair.

I was really excited about this fair because I always come to Renegade to shop and every time I found something awesome.

this year I become one of the vender, it was really awesome and fun.

and I meet some more people, and one of them put me on their blog

also many friends came by and check out my stuff. 

and my booth is really close to the back exit, so I keep want to check out the view outside.

It was a really beautiful weekend. 

big thank you to everyone that came to the show!! thank you!!

Pacific Grove Art Center show!

This friday me and Jason went to Pacific Grove for our art opening

and the show is in down town Pacific Grove (really close to Monterey) 

It is a group show of bay area artist, mostly clay work.

because of my crazy schedule in summer time 

so I took out my old sculpture that I made before I switch over to pottery

I made this piece two years ago, It good I get to see it out of the box.

anyway, the trip to the opening was really fun and the space is so awesome.

we all get to hang out in the end and had a wonderful day by the ocean :-)

now, after the relaxing day, I need to start to prep for the Renegade this coming week.

Wish me luck !

I am so lucky that Jason love to cook, guess busy is good so I don't need to cook at all :-)

Summer camp time!!

I was crazy busy this couple weeks, because

The school is out!!  that means summer camp for me!

This summer I am working in two different camp 

one is studio one and another one is parkday school summer camp

all these photos are from the parkday school summer camp

and the picture below is one of my favorite piece in this camp 

everyone get to do a story plate, they can either pick a story they like or make up a story.

and this particular plate is the toy story 3, she made woody and buzz light year.

So adorable!!!

This is a great summer camp. And in the end of the week they have to present their art work.

because they have sewing class, they get to do a runway show!

It's Soooooooo adorabel!!!!

and I tough many kids to draw sock monkey, and this guy loved it!!

so he drew on the bag that he made, soooo cute!!!

a lot of kids draw with me during the play time, and I got so many of cool drawing

but I left them at camp (because I was rushing cleaning up...)

If I get it back I am going to post it so you can see how awesome some of the drawing are!

anyway...

happy 4th of July!!!
