was asked to make the awards for the annual Millstream Arts Festival happening on September 29th all over downtown St Joe. I made them out of porcelain, brushed on a coating of black tinted clay slip, and then carved the lettering and imagery in when the surface was leather-hard. These ceramic medallions will hang in the booths of the Best of Show winners. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend this great arts festival.
The Intention of this Blog
is to share my adventure of repurposing my family farm into art space and re-rooting myself in an 'old fashioned' way of life with my folks, the original Do-It-Yourselfers. It is a platform for me to share with others the things that I learn as I apprentice myself to my parents and grandparents.
"You cannot express, whatever your walk in life, unless you have a system of expression; and you cannot have a system of expression unless you have a prior system of cognate thinking and feeling; and you cannot have a system of thinking and feeling unless you have had a basic system of living." -Louis Sullivan "The Kindergarten Chats: The Art of Expression: 1"
