Utah Symposium '02 - Day 2

Click on thumbnail for full size image

On day 2, I attended the Steve Sinner presentation for the first rotation
Steve, a Chicago area artist, does deep hollow vessels with unique surface decoration
Steve showed his homebuilt hollowing system
His hollowing bar is much different than the traditional outrigger types

Steve chucks up a vessel for hollowing
After the coarse hollowing, Steve sheds his smock (very hot weather) and ...
sets up a demo of his home built laser wall thickness measuring system
Steve finishes with a clever idea for checking contour smoothness

On the next rotation, I saw Jimmy Clowes doing his design workshop
Jimmy explains that most pleasing designs have their roots in catenary shapes
The design workshop was well attended, filling the bleachers and out the door
Jimmy puts the finishing touches on a demo bowl

He then covers the concepts of leading the eye with colors and contours
Jimmy colors the bowl and then creates a gradient
Some finish sanding on the inside followed by the finish
The coloration draws your focus right to the inside edge and then inside
