[Nfb-krafters-korner] speakers and creative ideas

[Blindhands at aol.com]

It would be interesting to learn about what other options we could use  
doing clay.  The kiln is something that intimmidates me.  That I would  need to 
go out and find a place, transportation, teacher willing to work with  me[I 
know I am wining now], but if I could play a little at home by myself, then 
 that might spark my interest.  Clay is such a tactile thing I would like 
to  give it a try.

I do not  have experience with non-fired clay but maybe someone else here 
does? If  not, I can begin to investigate and we can explore it 
together...ok? Maybe  someone here has a lot more experience with that than 
I 
have - I only used  it once in a classromm at the college, for a specific 
project, but I can  begin to check that out.

>>I would be interested  in participating as a discussion resource - AFTER 
I 
>>get my solo  show over with - I could talk on how to put together an

of

>> There are other things I could  discuss:
>> 1.  Bead Weaving/ Non-traditional use of bead  working combining beads 
and 
>> fibers - as an art form. This would  be a collage type of work, but 
using 
>> beads, fabrics, stones,  gems, found objects, etc.
>>
>> 2.  Pottery - making it  from scratch, basic techniques, glazing, 
firing, 
>> clay types, how  to tips for beginners or advanced pottery making. I 
would 
>> focus  on HAND THROWIng, not on wheel throwing - as an art  form.
>>
>> These are three things I am confident in leading  a discussion with if 
>> anyone is interested I would be very glad to  do it. First, I have to 
get 
>> my solo show off the ground this  weekend, then I am available and would 
>> enjoy it if you are  interested.
