In the beginning

Early in my career as an Adjunct at Sheridan College School of Craft and Design I taught a young  woman Lauren Blakey. Lauren went on to Nova Scotia School of Craft and Design for her BFA and voila almost 2 decades later we are showing together. Damn this all makes me feel proud. I hope she doesn't hate me for encouraging to a clay artist.
 Lauren Blakey- God, what a wall that would make here at The Cactus Lounge.

Lauren Blakey-Awesome tiles.
Not sure if I can claim Ottawa's Jen Drysdale as a student but the wood fire mentorship of almost 5 years ago set her on a course that is most gratifying for me to witness. Jen approaches clay with this in mind- I want to make better pots!!!!!. It's not about I want to make more money,  I want to take short cuts.   Simply put- I want to make better pots!!!!!!!! Well y'all be the judge.
Jen Drysdale - ewer and saucer. Oh baby that's sweet!

Jen Drysdale- Dancing bowl. Pots living on the edge of collapse are best.
As a young potter I was first introduced to a Japanese aesthetic by the stoneware of John Ikeda. I lost touch with John and he went off on a very bright colourful abstract impressionist very tight and precise form of work. So now I hear John is back at the wood kiln. Looking forward to seeing John and his work. Maybe I can talk some sense into him. 
John Ikeda- tea bowls/chawans

John Ikeda- whisking us away.

Greetings from Maria James from Florida, United State. It is so overwhelming to know that honest hackers do still exist these days though it's hard to get to them. Have been living under a blind romantic scam with my boyfriend not knowing he was after my Dad money, no way to get to my dad except through me, he was hired to ruin my life. He made me fall in love with him so crazy and after two months of our relationship he traveled without my knowledge and I was so worried about him because I couldn't reach him and this lead me to Wizard Brixton and it was not easy getting to know this great wizard, I email him directly via WIZARDBRIXTON (AT) GMAIL (DOT) COM and he then asked me to reach him on WhatsApp if my case was very urgent and I urgently contacted him on WhatsApp with (+1- /807-23 ) 4-0428 ;) Immediately I contacted him' I asked him to help me with the exact location of my boyfriend where-about and he then asked for his mobile number and I gave it out to him not so long he just asked me to wait for 15 minutes and exactly the time he gave to me he got back with unbelievable news.
I wouldn't have believed him if he didn't get back with proof because I so much trusted my boyfriend and loved him, why I log in to the mobile spy anonymous monitor I saw for myself that he was without another Lady in Maryland, USA. I then see all conversations and WhatsApp voice records with his boss. Well, All thanks to Wizard Brixton though it actually hurts to know the truth his services I highly recommend and he is very active and fast with a sense of humor. Do reach him today for similar cases and loss of funds. He also retrieves my funds back

I went to Central Tech's Art Dept. and ended up with my own Picture Framing business as a result of having been to CTS Art Dept. I don't know what all these comments are about !?!
Happenings are as they are.

As Bob Ross once said to a mouthy student. ''Shut your mouth and give your ass a chance''.

After CTS I went back to my first job as an architectural draughtsman. An art in its self.

Credit Repair Pros!

I recently happened to stumble onto thecybergoat repair professionals and had them work on my credit by having my early warnings, cash advance databases, phone contracts I needed removed and also had them edit out some missing payments. They had it raised to 720, Experian! Just email these credit repair gurus, for sure, theybergoat(@)techie . com. These guys are really just impressive!
