Kiln Casting Class

Class idea for the fall... comments, questions, concerns welcome.

Look at glass in a different way, using plaster, your hands, a little wax and clay and see where it takes you.  Amanda Parker, kiln caster from Georgetown Ontario is relocating to BC and is willing to share her knowledge using the Tide Line Studio.  Contact us if you are interested!

Whats happening at the studio...

I feel like we're run off our feet, writing never ending lists, answering the phone and emails, and still not getting ahead.  Please do not take this as a complaint, busy is good.  Busy keeps us motivated.  I do however feel like Im not working on my own things as much as I had wanted.  But reality says this is how it is.  So deal.

Emma, my furnace decided she needed an element change and at first I was frustrated but I got to use the weeks off to finish other things that were being neglected, focus my time more on promotional things, the kilns, and sketching out some ideas for the near future.

Whats new? Jelly fish! I finally finished them to the point where Im satisfied.  Last years Jelly Fish were ok, not bad, not ugly, but just not what I had invisioned.  This time, I think I got it and am pretty excited about them.  There are some on display in the gallery, and some on display at Bastion Square Market in Victoria.  

Im excited to share too that the West Coast Community Craftshop carries some of our work now.  The positive response keeps us motivated! Check them out if you're up island.
