Mitch Lyons

Ceramic artist Mitch Lyons is coming to Oklahoma City Oct 26-29. He'll be teaching "clay printing". Oh my, would I love to go! But it seems silly to cut my ceramics class and drive 300 miles one way.

I have just watched his DVD, Handbuilding with Mitch Lyons in which he demonstrates his famous "Broomstick" method. Very inspiring; really triggers the creative juices. I'm wondering how I can adapt his methods for my masks. He also demonstrates some "new" tools like a ping pong paddle; I must keep my eye out for one when I make my next thrift store visit.

Check out his web site: www.mitchlyons.com for examples of his work and teaching schedule.

Sign Saturday

This sign greets you at the entrance of the Citadelle in Canadian, Texas. The "house" and grounds could surely be the setting of a Fairy Tale. See posts for September 5, 6, 8, & 10.

Sculpture

Examples of interesting sculpture are scattered through out the grounds and gardens of The Citadelle. The gallery, house and grounds cover one square block in Canadian, TX, a space jammed packed with art; quite a surprise in a Texas panhandle town. Here are some pics of the grounds and the variety of sculpture presented in a garden setting.
