It's always great to challenge yourself...

This series is part of my BFA thesis, focusing on the mundane and 'boring' parts of transmasculine life. I love these boys! If you attended NCECA this year, you may have gotten a peek at my bathroom t-shot fellas.

Have you ever done homemade underglaze transfers? You can paint underglaze (I like Amaco velvets the best but speedball are so much cheaper 😅) onto newsprint and transfer them. I like sliptrailing bottles (most craft stores have needle tip bottles by model making for glue) and drawing/tracing designs, but I’ve also done some screen printing underglaze as well. Someone at nceca last year was demoing screen printing onto a balloon then using that to print onto round clay forms like cups. I agree the commercial ones are quick and easy but there is so much more to explore if you are interested!

I’ve seen them done but never tried them myself! generally if I’m using transfers it’s to get those super clean lines and if I was making them myself well 😅 they wouldn’t be that clean

here’s a video from @miloberezin where he applies one to a plate

One of my classmates told me i should apply for nceca which is like a national ceramics conference they're doing in salt lake this year and i was like. That is an incredible amount of faith in me but thank you. I think i have just enough time to finish 2 big projects if i really bust my ass and nothing goes terribly wrong.

NCECA Conference wrap up! Feeling immense after coming home from Cincinnati. Hello to everyone I didn’t get to see, to everyone I only was able to wave at across the room, thankful for everyone I got to have an actual conversation with. My DMs are open, hope to see you again soon 1) one of my contributions to the Cup Sale “what makes a good pot these days” 2) @aderowillard stunning work, my first hi hello howdy I’m Cinci 3) Jeremy Brook’s crocheted porcelain condoms 4) Xia Zhang’s always beautiful and provocative work at @cincyartmuseum 5) more rookwood art pottery than you can shake a stick at. This is actually from Matt Morgan Art Pottery 1882-1884 6) Roxanne Swentzel’s encouraging closing lecture and her trickster gods. 7) the glint of @tyler_quintin_arts 8) @sunkooyuhceramics, the only artist I purchased for my cupboard collection this year 9) party people @cxc_ceramics_collective 10) Cincinnati’s finest, put me back together after nights of diverse beverages xx https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp-VCOor8Dn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

blog entry 10

happy 404 day!

i'm baaack. it's been a minute since I felt inspired (i don't know if that exactly the word but its good enough for now) to really take the time to write out my life lately, but i hope if you have been watching you've enjoyed the visual journey to spring. i'm listening to my discover weekly intentionally for the first time in a minute. i really like the song that was just played [at the door by ILYICH and Takuya Nakamura]. i have been fighting for my life over the past few days. going toe to toe with something that was not quite covid and not quite the flu but it definitely sat in my body and forced me to care for it very deeply all the same. the first few days i spent on the threshold of sleep and waking which is much harder as the days grow longer. today is the first day that my mind has been awake enough to really even begin to tackle the mountain of tasks i had set out for my first week off in what feels like months.

it scares me sometime. how quickly i lose myself in the heat of all the work i can bury myself in. someone recently reassured me that in those moments i actually become so much more certain of who i am. that perspective shift has defintiely helped. march was truly a marathon. i hosted my first black clay meetup. vended my first market of the season. went to my first nceca and meet so many incredible potters. started a new job as a dance instructor. got a slot in my first art show and almost missed the art drop off because the acceptance email ended up in my trash somehow. my bestie flew in for a wild 56hr stint. we saw amaarae. she took one of my wheels classes. we frolicked around fayetteville and then she was gone. leaving behind a sore throat and aching body to remember her lol.

[update absolutely hating my discover weekly fuckkk lol]

honestly after reflecting on march. i know that i should been really proud of all that i've accomplished. i am finally getting my art up on walls. have started preliminary conversations with so many clay folks that I am excited to continue to expand, but i can't help but feel overwhelmed by the multitude of options and the simultaneous lack of current funds.

[discovery weekly currently on redemption arc.. what a rollercoaster. jk it was short lived. i think its pissing me off bc it feels like a bunch of white folks making black music so immediately its just wack to me lol}

anywho back to life lately. i ebb and flow between patience and impatience in my process. working on relying on community and not just building. allowing the folks around me to really show up and shine as well.

just binge read octavia bulters kindred today. like i deadass read almost all it today. i could not put it down. nobody really compells me to read quite like octavia. i never tire of the way she puts words together. i quite literally could not stop until i was done. i love the way that i can escape into a book but seldom dedicate the time to escape into the literary space because digital space just comes at such a greater convenience. i have been trying to make an honest effort to read way more. i am three books down for the year and i think its a reasonable goal to finish a book a month. so far i've literally only read octavia butler but its been a minute since ive been so obsessed with an author. i dabble into a bit of james baldwin. i love how full and wandering his sentences are. but honestly my next read will probably just be another octavia read because why stop a good thing.

i don't really have more to say so until tomorrow
