Ceramic Sculpture Studio & Matthias Update

Well thank you all for your great positive energy and healing prayers, Matthias our fellow ceramic artist friend and his brother Ruedi both came out of their comas and are well and truly on the way to recovery. I hope to be sculpting with Matthias this weekend at the Davies rehab facility in SFO!

Interesting how these events effect our lives. From the moment Matthias was in the coma until we saw him for the first time 2 weeks ago I was unable to sculpt. His recovery has been such a joy and inspiration that it has given me a new lease of creative energy. This last weekend Alex, Icka & I painted my studio and yesterday I finally finished reorganizing it ready for a new exciting year.

I now have a small gallery area next to my work space. I also fired my first 2010 kiln! Great firing!

Fellow Ceramacist needs our healing love

All my wonderful friends and ceramic followers please all help me in sending healing prayers, boundless love and positive energy to this wonderful young man Matthias. He truly touched our hearts this summer when we saw him daily while he was dating Caitlin our daughter. As we are blessed with two daughters, Matthias became that son we never had. He is a joy to be around, funny, expressive and always kind and caring. He is a truly exceptional person whose passions are surfing and creating ceramic sculptures. Right now he and his brother Ruedi are in hospital after a car accident so we need to send him healing love.

I also want to thank all of you who have supported me this past year. Whether through buying my art, turning up to Gallery Openings and Open Studios, or just sending positive encouragement, I truly appreciate all of the above. I'm looking forward to another year of Ceramic Sculpture, new shows and of course time with Matthias playing with clay!

Antoniaart in Museum Show- Marin Museum of Contemporary Art

Hi everyone for those of you who couldn't make the opening for this show, do try to find a moment to visit this little gem of a museum located just north of San Francisco, at what used to be Hamilton Air force base. The exhibit is on until Dec 31st 2009.

The curated show is a mix of Ceramic and Glass sculpture. Eleven artists from the ACGA association were invited to exhibit at the museum.

final new bikini finished for this next show at Marin MOCA.

Its still wet.

The one I just finished was gorgeous,

very Versace looking but on removal from the kiln

all the glaze started to pop off. Bad glaze /claybody fit. It is still exploding

Just received a postcard for a show at the Sanchez Art Center in Pacifica, and an image of my bikinis was on the front! Color was off a bit but nice to see your work inspiring other artists to enter an upcoming show.
