So as the summer draws to a close and another chapter of my crazy life begins to close I am of course bent towards reflection. This summer in between all my driving to various employment engagements all over Nor Cal, I have tried to couple these jobs with spending time with my awesome friends. I truly am blessed! I know some of the most amazing people and will always feel part of my heart is here with them when I go! <br />

As this post if full of pictures, I need to explain a few images and adventures I had this summer... not in order just a taste of my last California summer (for a few years)maybe?. <br />
It has been a blast spending so much time with all the new babies in my life... one of the things that makes me get weepy when I think about going to Montana. But don't worry sweet babies... I will visit often! And I am sure your parents are up for a cross country trip to visit Auntie Sunshine in Montana!!<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I did have tradgdy strike this summer with the passing of my sweet kitty Marco. I feel a bit better now, a few months after the fact. But I had a really hard time with his passing. He was my first real pet as an adult to pass away that I had for a signifiant length of time. He was also with me through my entire ceramic adventure. Lots of reflection and thought was brought on by his passing. It is still hard for me to think about heading to Montana without him! I miss him. Luckily people have let me spend time play with their pets and it has been helpful!</div>

Of course the constant though it all is ceramics! Been trying to make as my much work as possible, it is great to be busy and in demand! And as my studio spans a few counties I get to hang with friends when I am off sandblasting or making stuff in studios I visit while I teach. I have to give a shout out to all the awesome people who have helped me out this year as I made my work. </div>

Seems my life is all about full circles of late. This last Friday I attended the opening reception at Sonoma Community Center for friend and fellow ceramic artist, Tyler Nansen. First, the show Tyler put together is tremendous and definitely worth a trip out to Sonoma. Tyler is a slip cast artist and has a range of work in the gallery; functional, sculpture, and conceptual pieces! Quite the range of work for a six month jaunt at the Center! Here are some images from the reception.<br />

I have to mention Sarah Brown and Owen Nelsen (recent newlyweds) are always such a supportive and friendly duo, put together quite a feast of hors d'oeuvres and a homemade pizza feast for the after party! Sarah's effort in catering these events is always a treat and it really adds to the event! I am sure Tyler was thrilled, I know I was when she did the same for me last year! Sarah you rock! </div>

It is funny to think where a year will take you! I mentioned full circle earlier...Last year I finished my stint at the center and was off to Montana in a flash for a summer residency. The year brought me back to California and some teaching opportunities and lots of driving! Now, I find myself prepping emotionally for a move back to Montana for a longer stint (Two years...yeah!) but I find that this year while it encompassed a lot of challenges and some really sweet successes, I am at odds with myself, I am both ready for the next evolution and sad to leave all my lovely California playmates ( and all the fresh veggies)! I have such a wonderful group of friends here in California, friends I consider family. It is harder to say good-bye than I thought. When I leave events of late that include any of these awesome folks, as my friend Eden would say, I find myself verklempt. So my plan for my remaining time in Cali is to make lots of awesome memories this summer and try and get a handle on my emotional state of being! And encourage everyone to visit me in Helena!</div>

First off, THANKS to everyone that who came out to the show at Trax! What an amazing night and a wonderful turnout. It was lovely to see everyone and fun to talk about all the wonderful pots in the show. I had the most fun putting together the flower arrangements for the show. It is always nice to see one's pots realized to there fullest! The show is up for another few weeks, if you are in Berkeley please check it out! </div>

But as my last post indicated I am on fire in 2012. I have been running to keep up and trying to stay on top of my studio life! A bit of an update for those that follow me I have lots of upcoming events , check the website www.sunshinecobb.com for details, but the biggest change coming is I am moving back to Helena, Montana! Whooohoo! I am so excited, I have been invited back for a long term residency at the Bray! I will probably be heading that way in the fall. But for now I will try to update this a bit more often. I know. I know. I always say that! But I will try.... I am trying to figure out how to like this directly to my website so it can be read from my site.... will work on it! Here are some pics of my latest kiln load till I have some new work finished!<br />

</tbody></table>So it is a new year and I am running full speed in the studio as I am unemployed once again! But I am loving the time I have in the studio, photos will follow. <br />
I am not one for new years resolutions, but I find myself making some changes this year. I had a birthday a couple of weeks ago. 40, eek! Age is funny, most of the time it feels like an arbitrary number that hopefully coincides with some life experience. Forty seems big, making changes and nailing down plans...hopefully! I am excited and grateful for all I do have and the opportunities coming. However, I am ready for some roots. I am hoping to find a place to be semi permanent (gotta have a loophole)!<br />
I don't know about you but I struggle these days, mostly with my emotional reactions to unemployment and the state of the world. It is heartbreaking sometimes how as a country we seem to be de-evolving. The things I want are simple. I want the world to be a safe place. I want people to treat each other with decency, regardless of belief systems. I want everyone to have equal rights. Recognition of the beauty and importance of our planet. I want our politicians to use common fricking sense. And on a selfish personal note, I want a job I love (that rewards me with money)!<br />

So it is out there, I wish all a wonderful and productive year! Bake and enjoy life! (Meyer Lemons are in season!)<br />

Those of you who know me know I love baking! So it is kinda silly I have never whole heartedly attempted dessert ware. Rest easy, I'm doing it! Tart plates and ramekins, pie plates, and the intimidating cake plate. My research lead me to make a cake plate that I am comfortable with... not too girly, why is it that cake plates have a girly inclination. I don't know why that is, but they can be frilly and highly decorated... not my comfort zone! As with any new object I design, I really just start making, and see where the clay takes me! Right! A little cheesy I know, but I learn and improve by doing! So here are a few pics of the greenware.... finished pics to come! <br />

It's raining it's pouring!I once again have to apologize for being a bad blogger! I have been busy trying to stay afloat! Making pots in a couple of different studios... part time teaching, oh the glamourous life of the potter! I am currently doing a bit of housesitting for some friends in Berkeley! I love housesitting, as it is a vacation for my friends it is also a lovely getaway retreat for me too. It is kinda like doing someone else's dishes, it isn't a chore so much as a small task that is nice to do! It is nice to vacation from one's own situation sometimes and helps in getting some much needed perspective. <br />
Well, I wanted to just put something down, as I have been away from the blogging universe, caught up in all the drama of the day. So back to the studio, getting ready for holiday sales hopefully! I hope all is well with you my friends.... be posting soon!Sunshinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18354721072335417131noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448842201745554584.post-75828175313460914332011-09-11T20:07:00.000-07:002011-09-11T20:10:20.989-07:00Work for SALE!Just had an opening last night at TRAX gallery( <a href="http://www.traxgallery.com/">www.traxgallery.com</a> ).

<div>So I am back in the lovely state of California, after spending an incredible summer in Helena, Montana! It truly was one of the best summers of my adult life. Making pots, spending time with incredible people who happen to be great artists. Can't believe how fast the summer flew by! Thanks to all the wonderful people who I spent the summer with and the people who made it possible. </div><div><br />
</div><div>So I am back in Cali, moved in with some friends who would have me as I make my ways into the waters of regular employment. It is nice to see my old friends, I have the cats settled and I started a new part time job! It is wonderful to be on a college campus again... I am excited to teach some new students my old ceramic tricks! Hopefully my blogging will be a bit more regular! <br />

Been crazy busy here at the Bray. Making work, glaze testing(my favorite), firing kilns, hang with the summer crew. I can't say how much fun I am having being here in Montana, while I don't do a lot of the outdoorsy stuff, it is wonderful to work in our studio shed and then head out to just gaze at the landscape. We have been blessed with some really great weather, not to hot and a bit of a breeze. ahhh! This week has been a bit wild, teaching summer camp for some local tweens, I know I dislike that word, but you know who I am talking about. It has been a bit of a task getting the kids motivated but today we are painting the work and they are onto the next camp. Also did my brief presentation for the Bray talks that go one every week.... I didn't fall on my face, thank heavens! <br />
<br />
I am also getting ready for a visit from my mother, have to sell her on the beauty that is Montana, next week, Feather and Andy! My time here seems to be flying by, three weeks to go!<br />
<br />
<br />
Here a few pictures of our recent float trip down the Missouri, what a blast.<br />

One of the joys of being semi nomadic is the need to have flexible sleep habits. Unfortunately ,I am a creature of comfort and need my eight hours of sleep to have a productive day. I washed my sheets the other night.... and must have some how punctured my perfectly working twin air mattress... I was the filling for a taco the whole night. Having returned the mattress to trusty Target... and found a on sale double six mattress.... was the filling for a double stuff taco! Uggh! So I finally spent the big bucks and invested in a air mattress that won't deflate while I sleep! I am happy to say I sleep soundly last night... I am now ready for the studio...

We headed up to Nelson, BC, to see our friends Eden and Robin Dupont, and their lovely kids Roscoe and Isla! What a beautiful place! Lots of trees and water and Mountains! Oh and hippies! Did lots of hanging out and a little adventuring! They put us in a canoe and sent us into the water! We survived and had a blast!Wish I could canoe everyday!

</tbody></table>I have once again hit the road to journey to Montana for a summer gig at the Archie Bray. Yeah! But my week leading up to my departure was filled with glazing pots, sandblasting, packing, wonderful last visits with friends, yummy food and a few tears when I said goodbye to the center and all the usual suspects who I will miss greatly!<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

</tbody></table><div>What is it with us potters... it always seems we have to get in a last batch of pots and then figure out what to do with all of them... as if there is magically extra room in my vehicle! UGH... So glad I did...later post to explain why! However my trip was great... lots of driving first to Portland,Oregon.... on too few hours of sleep, to much packing in the morning and a late start... I packed the kitties in the car and took off. I managed to get a few good hours of driving in before I had to take a nap at a rest stop. Caught a few winks and then hit the road. So glad I keep sunscreen in my bag because I started to get the one arm burn. I arrived late and hit the sack after getting the kitties settle in their new home while I am here in Montana. I miss them already! Their Auntie Foe is keeping them in line... But they have each other so I know they will be okay... I will probably fall apart missing them.... just a 11 hr car ride away!</div><div><br />
</div><div>The next part of the journey happened yesterday.. Portland to Montana... I am not one to complain about the weather... but it is summer time right? I drove through four states, raining in each of them! Luckily not to torrential, made good time... Got to Christa and Bobby's by 9pm.... will post about Montana tomorrow! Good Night!</div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

Had my opening for my exit show here at the center! I want to thank everyone for coming out, it was a blast! I am super proud of the work and am incredibly thankful for all my friends that helped make the show so successful! Specifically I want to thank Mr. Petey for the use of his lovely sandblaster, Sarah Brown for all the yummy food at the reception- stellar! And a special thanks to Catherine Scott for her help with the flowers! You guys are awesome! A couple pics from the show.

As I write this I still need to get my artist statement written up and price list finalized, thank yous posted. But I wanted to get in a blog before it became old news. This last Wednesday , Catherine Scott, took me to the SF Flower Market! As I have always wanted to go to a flower market, must be something from the movies, but I jumped at waking up at 3:45 AM, to get a kiln unloaded, reloaded and the car packed for the trip down to the bay. We arrived at the market by 5:30 am, and it seemed as if we were late. I followed Catherine around taking in the scene as well as getting inspired for my show. It was awesome! Check out some of the very cool scenes I witnessed! Will post pictures of the show and how it all turned out in a couple of days! I am feeling like I have procrastinated enough! Better get to work!<br />

It is like on huge light box. But a trip to the ranch is not complete with out a full frontal attack of the dogs! I have no Idea how many the have but they are plentiful and very sweet! Mutts most of them but usually some cross of livestock dogs. Check them out.<br />

I am getting ready for my exit show, June 3rd, here at the center. Making lots of work... Anyway, no excuses!<br />
<br />
But on to more story worthy topics and funny stuff! The other night I was short on sleep and needed to take pictures that night (getting images ready for the postcard..) so I took a nap. I woke to the smell of food outside my window. Strange being that usually it is the AA people who are smoking and chatting outside that will normally entice me to look outside. However, when I looked out my window- I am on the second story, right below me, parked next to the building was a taco truck??? HUH! I was a little confused to say the least! Found out a concert in the auditorium... but still haven't gotten a reasonable explanation for the taco truck. But took a picture to share with you all! Taco truck and a kitty in the window!<br />

Every day seems to be sunnier than the last! If you know me you know how much I am hating it! Was caught sitting in the studio with the lights off, just enjoying the simulation of a cloudy day. I have to say it seems to boggle peoples brains that I am not thoroughly enjoying the sunny days! Sorry, but I believe it is in my DNA to prefer the clouds and the cold, even if my name is Sunshine!<br />

</tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So I am getting ready for my show that opens on Monday! I spent a bit of time earlier in the week doing set up in the space... painting pedestals and hanging shelves. It is now two AM on either late Saturday or Early Sunday, I just finished taking pictures of some new work. I worked on wood blocks for signage because I am broke and can't afford the lovely little stickers! Ugh! But I do enjoy cutting blocks and they turned out well... sooo. I am off to sleep as I haave get up early and do some sanding, and last minute inspection of work and cart it off to Sacramento! Hope to see some people there on Monday night for the reception... </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Recently I ventured in to the city (San Fran) to visit a show my friend Tri was in my opinion the star. The rainy night was rewarded with seeing Tri and his lovely work on display in a great space on Townsend street. I met Tri during my discovery of the wood firing process. He is one of my favorite people in the world and hella fun to have around a wood kiln, (he is an excellent BBQ'er!)<br />

His work is still mainly wood fired to lovely effect, the pieces at the show are a selection of forms that represent markers of a sort. From his many travels he takes inspiration and these represent a mile marker form he saw in France... ( I forget the exact word). I see many things in his work but the main feeling I get from his pieces are a sense of balance and time. His works inspires me to try to quiet myself and find a calm on which to reflect. Check out the lovely pieces form the pictures I took on the fly, and a few fun pics of Tri and his wood fire buddies! <br />
