CHAIR-ity begins in your studio! A recent auction, in San Diego, of work made by artists, from recycled 'street' furniture, for an organization called, "Growing Liberia's Children," brought in over $13,000. This money will create a cafeteria for St. Paul's Presbyterian Church School, in Liberia. Children often come to school having eaten nothing, and this cafeteria will provide, at least, one meal per day for the children of war-torn Liberia

Don't miss this year-long show, 'Japan in Blue & White,' curated by Meher McArthur (3/25/10 - 3/6/11), at the Pacific Asia Museum, in Pasadena. Be sure to visit the Gift Shop, which has contemporary blue & white ware, especially designed, in porcelain, at Juls Pottery Studio. These pieces are dipped in ash, oribe and Chinese Red hand-made glazes, over designs accented with cobalt oxide.
Exciting News!
Our grandson, Brad, arrived from Chino City, Nagano Prefecture, Japan, 4 months old, with his mom, Yuuko. They now reside in Silver Lake, with our son, Ken. Brad will soon be wedging clay with his grandmother and perfecting Japanese with his grandfather. We will save glaze-making for later. You need some math for that, but, since he is half-Japanese, the math should be easy.
Juls is now showing at the Beatrice Wood Center for the Arts, in Ojai, and the gallery space at the American Museum of Ceramic Art, in Pomona. She has recently prepared four more art mosaic panels for another Silver Lake Art Can Project, in collaboration with the Path Pals (19"W x 26"H, each.)
