As I mentioned below, the Eden Valley Community Art Show took place earlier this month. As part of that I do a live sculpture demonstration every year. This year Judy Thielen sat for me. She is one of the organizers who makes sure the art show runs smoothly.
It was fun to see everyone that came and show them how portrait busts are made. Click the image here to see for your self.

Another successful Community Art Show and Scholarship Fundraiser happened today. We raised over $1500 in funds to continue the Carolyn Becher Memorial Art Scholarship.

I mentioned a sculpture demo in the previous entry here. I was invited to do a sculpting performance for Temple Aaron's (State Fair themed) Purim celebration. They had considered carving butter but the cooler rental alone would have broke the bank so a clay sculpture that could be finished and kept forever was agreed upon.

I have a Clay Portrait demonstration coming up in March and wanted to do a quick practice piece. Deb's husband had asked me how much it would cost to have his wife sculpted. I thought it would be fun to do that for them in school since Deb is a colleague of mine at EVW. What a great experience it was for my students to see the process and be able to ask questions as they saw it evolve. It was especially fun because they all know Deb.
