Demonstrating at NCECA 2012 – Seattle, WA

Filed under: events, exhibitions, general, images, workshops — christaassad @ 5:08 pm

What an honor – I’ve been invited to demonstrate at this year’s national ceramic arts conference, NCECA, scheduled for March 28-31 in Seattle. I’ve been in attendance at nearly every NCECA since 1991 - 20 years now – so it’s an exciting thought to imagine myself hamming it up on the main stage. AND I’ll be joined by Jason Walker (same stage – very cool!) and my clay heroes, Walter Keeler and Tip Toland. Fantastic! Jason Walker and I will also be presenting solo exhibitions side by side at the fabulous Friesen Abmeyer Fine Art Gallery in downtown Seattle. Stay tuned for more details announcing that event.

Hope to see you at the conference – come introduce yourself and say hi…don’t be shy,

xo

I can’t believe it’s finally out! Probably in your local news stand’s recycle bin by now, but it was out last week: page 17 of the Oct. 10, 2011 issue of People Magazine…what could be better than having Jackie O on the cover?

Thank you, Anderson Ranch & Harvey Meadows Gallery!

Filed under: events, exhibitions, images, workshops — christaassad @ 9:40 pm

Is it possible to be nostalgic for something that finished just two weeks ago? Apparently so, as I am feeling sappy-sad for my much-anticipated, now-past workshop at Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Snowmass Village, CO. We had so much fun! I know I am speaking for my whole class here, but honestly, we bonded. No one wanted to go home.

I was also most fortunate to have a very successful show at the fabulous Harvey Meadows Gallery in Aspen Highlands Center. I think there are a few pieces still available – thanks to Alleghany and Sam for rockin’ it for me!

I sure hope I’ll get invited back – missing you, Aspen/Snowmass… xox christa

Harvey Meadows Gallery: Aug. 11 – Sept. 9, 2011

Filed under: events, exhibitions, general, images, workshops — christaassad @ 4:30 pm

It is a high honor to be showing along side Mr. Brad Miller! Thanks to Alleghany and Sam for the exciting double bill at Harvey Meadows Gallery, and to Beth for her gorgeous poster design. Can’t wait to see you all on Aug. 22 – I arrive in Aspen the day before to lead a 2-week workshop on Teapots at Anderson Ranch Arts Center, so watch out Rockies, here I come!

Summer Workshops are Here!

Filed under: events, images, workshops — christaassad @ 3:54 pm

I have to admit, I’ve had a pretty relaxing summer so far – no serious responsibilities, lots of croquet and cocktails, but oh yes – some new art on the horizon! (stay tuned)

Soon I head to Anderson Ranch Arts Center, tucked away in the Rockies in gorgeous Snowmass Village, CO, to lead a 2-week workshop on teapots. There’s probably still room left for one or two of you out there…and if you need a little encouragement, here’s one of my all-time favorite workshop pics (this one is from last year’s class at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts). This particular group was all-star material, right down to my amazing assistant, Mr. Josh Copus. Josh and I surprised the class with our hokey, “Corny as a Uni-horn” tees from downtown Gatlinburg…and they surprised us by having their shirts airbrushed to match! Here’s to you guys!
