Kiln Loading Strategy

Many times people have asked me how to load a kiln. Many times I have failed to have the right words to describe it… tonight, Jared asked a simple question that summarized the process…"is it like playin Tetris?"… YES it is very much like playing tetris.. fill in as tightly as you can, leaving no […]

Fall 2008 Course Descriptions

Bisqueing Again

Last night I ran the first bisque kiln that I have run in about six months. I felt so strange programming the kiln and loading and everything. Luckily it all came back to me and the 8 pieces I fired made it through with no problems. I am starting to believe I need to find […]

Advanced C++ Intimidation

Three issues have come up in regards to me moving records around lately.

Summer Grades Are In

  Took long enough, but the grades are finally in. I really hope that when UNC transmits the grades to the other schools that they don’t label the course as "SPEC TOPICS STUDIO", that would so suck, especially since that is only the description, the course title is "Digital Photography".

Picking an Art

It seems like every artist has a primary specialization. They are sculptors, painters, graphic artists, ceramists or a variety of other titles…anyone simply called "artist" is usually a painter, or is a lazy person who smokes too much pot. I don’t know what my specialization would be. I have been in ceramics the longest, but […]

Still Being Patient

I’m awake, its nearly 7am and there are still no grades available for my digital photography class. I’m starting to wonder if the instructor made a mistake when he sent the grades to the registrar. Next chance to get grades will most likely be Monday.
