Pottery, Photography, Design - Brandon "Fuzzy" Schwartz
If you’re in the Ligonier area tomorrow (Saturday) evening you can check out the West Noble Community Art Show from 5-8pm. I sent over three pieces of pottery. Last year I won a blue ribbon!
One of my co-workers at West Noble Primary ran the Boston Marathon this year. She had already finished the race and was out of the way when the explosions happened. But she and another teacher wanted to raise some funds to help some of the runners and onlookers that weren’t so fortunate.
They asked if I would help them make a T-shirt design and so I did. Below are two of the final designs and the actual shirt. I can’ t take credit for the idea but I helped them get their idea onto paper using Illustrator. I even used the perspective grid more than I ever have before.
Kids could bring in coins to donate and they all walked together today during recess. Quite a few staff members bought shirts and wore them today. I’m glad I could be a part of it.
Here’s a rough draft that I liked. Probably because it reminds me of FRINGE!
Todd Pletcher is a potter from the Goshen area. (Also on Etsy). He is having an open studio/sale this weekend. So of course, I couldn’t pass up a chance to go see his work. Here are some photos of what I saw and what I brought home.
I had a chance to fire some pieces a few weeks ago and just recently took some photos of some of my favorites. Finally today, I got the images to my computer and made them web worthy.
Warm Brown Stoneware fired to ^6.
What a shot. What a game.
Inspired by a post on MGoBlog, and enough adrenaline to keep me awake for hours, last night I started typing out a poem along the lines of Casey at the Bat. But it wasn’t about baseball. It covers the heroics of Trey Burke and an unbelievable comeback by Michigan to knock off top seeded Kansas.
