http://sculpturepdx.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Susans Art and Words. Sculpting a Life with passion, joy and creativity. Wednesday, March 10, 2010. Today, I started a new blog. Why? Well, when I started this blog almost 5 years ago, the blogs were very different. So, was I. When I started here, the blog choices were very limited. I had only a few templates to choose from, limited picture space and loading. I wasn't able to get a blog address that matched the blog name. And as my blog grew, I really outgrew the name. Links to this post. Although I had ...

Thursday, August 28, 2014. Two Artists Talk About The Finishing Stage. Starting a project or piece of art is filled with excitement and anticipation. There’s possibility in the air, a sense of adventure and energy picking up the clay, cloth, paper and paint. But getting close to the finish line, the endings can be filled with completely different feelings. Here’s a picture of the back of one of Terry’s finished fiber art pieces.

http://artiststudiotoursofwashingtoncounty.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 19, 2014. Open Studios Helped Me Find My Way Back to Clay. It had been a tough few years. I broke my wrist and had to have surgery. A roof leak repair tore apart my studio walls and floor. My husband got laid off. We were doing our best and I took every gig that came along to help make ends meet. One thing I knew in my heart even as my mind raced with fear, I would not give up on my art. But it was open studios that helped me stay on the art path and find my way back to clay. I scraped to...

Artist Studio Tours of Washington County: December 2014
http://artiststudiotoursofwashingtoncounty.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 19, 2014. In Memory: Karen French. I met Karen at my first Oregon Potters Association meeting where she was the Hospitality Coordinator. Her job was to set up tables for treats but she went above and beyond. With her open, up front and easy going humor, she instantly made me feel welcome and at ease in this new group. Thanks to Washington County Open Studios, I got to know her even better. Doing her Artist Profile (here). It didn’t faze Karen at all. She became my friend. She lent me her...

Artist Studio Tours of Washington County: How do artists create art?
http://artiststudiotoursofwashingtoncounty.blogspot.com/2015/07/how-do-artists-create-art.html
Friday, July 10, 2015. How do artists create art? How do tubes of paint, brushes, canvas or paper become a painting? What happens to a lump of clay on a wheel that turns it into a porcelain bowl? Why do the layers of colored wax stick to the canvas? This is the magic of creation, experimentation and experience that turns ordinary materials into art. In Hillsboro, you'll see Tim Gabriel bend steel into intricate shapes. Patti Issacs will be painting on silk in Aloha. There's so much to see! 11 AM TO 5 PM.
