Where to buy my ceramics, and help a cause

Hello, long time I haven't been here. There is that little thing that gets in the way callled life, so some things get put in the back burner. Bad Yolanda, bad.

I want to invite you to visit my booth this Saturday and Sunday at the Mistletoe Madness Craft Faire, October 11 and 12, from 9 am to 4 pm. Presented by the La Habra Woman's Club, at the La Habra Community Center located at 101 W. La Habra Blvd. La Habra, CA 90631, corner of La Habra Blvd. and Euclid Blvd. Lots of vendors showing their handmade creations. Admission is free, and the nice thing is that proceeds benefit the La Habra Senior Programs and Scholarships. So what better than enjoying a day with the loved ones, do a little shopping (or a lot) and helping a cause. This is the way I like spending my Saturday.

Hope to see you there! Come and say hi.

Aardvark's Workshop Update

Last Friday was the second class of three were I am teaching ceramic bead making at Ardvark Clay in Santa Ana, CA. I have eight wonderful women take the classess, we made clay beads the first class, and this past friday we did the glazing. This coming is going to be putting our jewelry together.

Aardvark asked me to do another workshop in the summer, lasting longer than three weeks. I am working on a program where we have more time and choices on the fabrication of beads. We will continue the handbuilding and stamping methods, but I will also show how to make plaster and clay molds, slip casting of beads and also adding glass to them. This should be fun and can't wait for summer! also because I am tired of cold weather.

Have a great week and visit again. I will post some pictures later in the day.

Happy New Year!!

Best wishes for a great 2008 everybody! I know I have not been as good as I should on the posting here. Things get in the way and time is flying so fast lately, I can't keep up with all things I'd like to do.

I am excited that I did my first show and things were really well, sold some pieces, recouped my fees so I'm happy. I am not going to say that I made money because that would be a lie, I have so much money invested in supplies, equipment, clay materials
etc, etc, etc. But I am getting in gear to add more venues for the cause. So, in a way I am excited about that beginning for me for the new year.

I am also going to be teaching a six-hour workshop on making ceramic beads, pendants and ultimately the last class is making jewelry with the ceramic pieces made. I will be teaching it at my local supplier,in Santa Ana, California. The workshop will be held Fridays, February 15,22 and 29, from 9-11am.

This Chritmas was fun for me, I got to spend time with my Dad, brothers, sisters and their kids. Some of them I had not seen for a few years since they live in Yucatan, they are all grown and beautiful kids. Lots of food, screaming, laughing, and games we played that almost turned into a war....it was fun.

More later,
