That's Clever




Here's the purse that I made for That's Clever. My five minutes of fame airs/aired on February 12, 2009. It took about 4 hours to tape my segment. I'm used to talking to juries and judges, so I figured video would be easy. I was wrong. I kept talking to the people and not looking into the camera. I kept forgetting to wait for someone to say, "Action!" TV is nowhere near as easy as it looks! But I had fun making the purse and lots of fun learning a little bit about television. Thanks to all who watched.

'Struder Man's New Sculpture







Jim grabbed my ^6 clay (comparable to Laguna's Speckled Buff), his extruder and started to play. He used a white ^6 clay to make the little people. The piece is glazed with Coyote Clay's pistachio shino.
