Jerry L Studio: March 2012
http://jerrylstudio.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 1, 2012. Dried Clay Tags Ready for the Kiln. In my prior blog, I talked about making ceramic dog tags to gift at Burning Man in 2011. I got the crazy notion to bring back a bucket of Black Rock City playa dust to somehow incorporate with the 2012 dog tags. That bucket of dust sat quietly in my studio for months. In December, I got out the bucket. I dumped ashes from the One Mile Clock into the bucket. I sifted both through a fine mesh screen. I now had 5 pounds of fine powder. I took a co...

Jerry L Studio: July 2011
http://jerrylstudio.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 25, 2011. House of Parliament, Big Ben and the London Eye from the Thames. This is the first time Doc and I have visited London without the jet lag battle. Generally, Doc is falling asleep over afternoon tea during the first few days of our London visits. This visit, Doc is also not haunting the house wide-awake at 2:00 AM. We’d been in Spain for two weeks and are well acclimated to the time change. How cold can it get? I absolutely love London. It’s the one city in the world IR...From Is...

Jerry L Studio: October 2011
http://jerrylstudio.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 12, 2011. For 7 months, I had been focused on creating an art piece for Burning Man. I was invited to participate in a project: Burning Time, the World’s Largest Working Timepiece. Forty artists created over sixty art pieces for the One Mile Clock. I created one panel for the clock – 4 ft by 6 ft. I then volunteered to bring my artwork and work on the construction of the clock at Black Rock City. I received an early arrival pass which I now know is highly prized. Hand me the nail gun!

Jerry L Studio: December 2011
http://jerrylstudio.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 26, 2011. Burn, baby burn. Uh. no! I traveled to Black Rock City for the first time in 2011. I’ve been talking for almost a year about Burning Man. I talked your ear off about my participation in Burning Time: the 1MileClock project. We built the largest working timepiece ever built: a clock with a one-mile diameter clock face. I talked about my art piece for the 1MileClock, a woven newspaper piece; a 4 foot by 6 foot weaving glued and sealed on a ¾ inch thick sheet of plywood. Someone t...

Jerry L Studio: Chain, Chain, Chain....
http://jerrylstudio.blogspot.com/2011/12/chain-chain-chain.html
Monday, December 5, 2011. Chain, Chain, Chain. In my art, I love to take small bits and work them into a whole. I work with beads. I work with tab tops. I work with any collection of items that can be pulled together into a larger piece: tin can lids, key chains. My BFA in Education background is in weaving… textiles. You take thread or string and weave it into a larger piece. Take something small and create something big. The results were strange yet familiar. I loved the mind phuque. 8220;WHAT is that?

Jerry L Studio: April 2011
http://jerrylstudio.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 12, 2011. Now, Read This. This was an eventful weekend. Or, shall I say, a weekend full of events? We had a house full of out of town guests. We attended the dedication of our new Synagogue building, theatre at the Mark Tapor Forum and my book club evening. All this in two days. I belong to a book club that has been around for about 16 years. I’ve been a member for 14 of those years. I initially joined to broaden my reading experiences. What began as a discussion of a novel, changed to inc...

Jerry L Studio: June 2011
http://jerrylstudio.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 27, 2011. In a 4-hour session, I can roll, stamp and cut several hundred dog tags. I began making them in February and now have about 1,000 made up. To keep it even simpler, I left them unglazed but used various oxides to color the white clay. I was sitting in Open Studio making several hundred dog tags one Friday and my introvert’s brain began telling me, “These things are really stupid. No one’s going to want one of these things! Self-doubt crept into the room. What was I doing? I now have...
