November 10th General Meeting

CLAY NATURALLY
A REVIEW OF THE
NOVEMBER 10 MEETING
Lorraine Rosenblatt Administrator
It wasn’t surprising with such renown speakers, that the attendance at our November 10th meeting at Fort Mason, was over 40 people. There was a mixture of people - members, artists who are not yet members, and art students.

Daniel Keegan, Director of the San Jose Museum of Art, gave a very delightful slide presentation and talk on the clay history and works that are in the San Jose Museum of Art collection.

An engaging shaman with clay, Arthur Gonzales, Department Chair at CCA, presented slides of his work and spoke about the methods he has developed to craft his clay sculptures.

John Toki is a well-known clay sculptor whose pieces have been displayed all over the Bay Area. John’s insightful talk along with his slide presentation, concentrated on the thought processes he goes through to make the large scale pieces he executes so well.

After the speakers, there was a very lively question and answer concentrating on the state of clay art and its impact on society.

The Bancroft Garden Sculpture Show

The Bancroft Garden sculpture show has been more successful every year for the past ten years. For the last 3 years, it is an exclusive Pac Rim show, so long as we organize it for the all-volunteer garden foundation. In return, sculptors donate 30% of all sales to the garden.

This June 17-19, there were $16,734 in sculpture sales, distributed between 13 sculptors. 38 pieces sold. The average sale was $440, and one sculptor, who does this show every year, sold 14 pieces. The highest price work to sell was $1500, and there were 5 sales over $1000.

Huge kudos to Pac Rim’s David Mudgett, the one-man organizer, fund raiser, design director, promote, curator, set-upper, take- downer, sculptor’s advocate, liaison to the gardeners, chief helper and head coach of this event!

Bancroft Show dates for 2006
