Utah Symposium '02 - Day 2


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
