Some pieces from a recent raku firing done on a sunny day with favorable weather conditions. Pieces and technique are based on various factors and precise temperature but you never know what will come out. #ceramics #pottery #handmade #sculpturalart #art #buylocalart #torpedofactoryartists #supportlocalartists #potterslife #alternativefiringtechniques

#ScribesAndMakers 28. Shameless self-promotion day. Let's boost away.

I have a photo show up at Julie's Coffee & Tea in Alameda, California through 3/24! It's my Twisted Trees collection and hopefully tells a bit about the resilience of trees through time and exposure to the elements.

I have a love for trees, especially ones that are twisted or burnt. In this gallery, the larger trees are ancient Bristlecone pines, which are some of the oldest living being on Earth. The smaller ones are various trees and shrubs from across the Eastern Sierra.

My Twisted Trees show is up until 3/24 at Julie’s Coffee & Tea Garden at 1223 Park Street on Alameda, CA. #ThickTrunkTuesday #AlamedaCalifornia #SupportLocalArtists

A photo of a café wall and wooden table. There is a photo hanging on the wall with wooden magnetic rails. It’s a black-and-white photo of a tree. There is also an artist statement taped to the wall to the right of it as well as some ads for events at the café. On the table are three prints of black-and-white photos of trees and a basket with more prints. There is a chair to the left and the right of the table. End description.

Much Love Vase"Social Isolation 1" Vase which SOLD and walked out the door with a new collector. White stoneware and hand painted with oxides/underglaze which commentary on society's use of technology when out and about. Instead of meeting people and exchanging interesting points of view, they are attached to their mobile phones to isolate themselves from what is in front of them.

For some reason Percy Jackson has been made into a #musical and a local #theatre group is putting it on, so we bought tickets to go see if its any good. One never knows.

From Shannon, the new owner of Julie's Coffee & Tea Garden:

"Between the weather and the news, it feels like the world is all doom and gloom.

But it’s not. Not all of it, anyways.

If you’re craving some community tonight, stop by Julie's Coffee & Tea Garden for our art opening. We’ll have light snacks, drink specials, a craft table, and of course our latest art installation and the artist herself Denise Cicuto. Let’s talk art, and how tree and branch and wood tie into bigger themes of resilience, strength, community & more."

Image ID: A rectangular post with a black and white photo of a bristlecone pine tree at the bottom in mid day and the following text above it:
"Join us tonight Friday 1/31 6-8pm Check our our latest art installation "Twisted Trees" by Denise Cicuto.
Meet the artist Drink specials Enjoy tasty bites from our kitchen, featuring a spread of gluten free options. Create your own picture frame from natural elaments at our craft table - project & supplies courtesy of Denise. Don't let the gloom and rain keep you away. The cafe is full of warm and cozy - our heater is on and the mulled wine is delightful. See you there!" End description.
