My main interests in clay are texture, form, and color. Texture comes from many sources, including hand-carved stamps and roulettes that T have mnde, wooden Indian textile stamps, buttons, beads, and found obJects T have collected. Also, T have a collection of crocheting and tatting from my grandmother and great grandmother, who made edgings for pillowcases, table runners, etc. Form eomes from functional pottery shapes passed down through the ages. My use of colors is greatly influenced by color combinations T find in nature fp the local foothills, and from my years spent in the Southwest. Most of my works are made in red clay, my homage to the red colored hills of the American Southwest. After taking ceramics at the local community center, T enrolled at BSU and received a BFA jn art education and ceramics. T was fortunate to study under Jahn Takehara, who has had a big influence on my work. Upon graduating, T bought an electric Iciln and began learning how to do oxidation firing, testing many glazes over the years and finally settling on cone 5-6 glazes. T especially like glazes which enhance my applied textures. The book, iUlasterina Cone 6 Glazes, has provided many of .my current glazes. Most of my works combine the use of wax resist over stamped designs (which are first glazed then waxed over) then the rest of the piece is glazed by brushing it on. I blaze fire to cone 6, approx. 2200 degrees in a Shimpo Cone Art electric kiln. W~bsif~~ Patricia Sadler Trainor Letter of Intent My intent for this opportunity is fio hand build and wheel throw about 10-12 works in clay, similar to those on my CD. They will 6e made of red stoneware clay, and form a cohesive body of work. My works are all textured with various tools, some handmade by myself, others collected throughout many years of working to cloy, The wheel-thrown works are altered by faceting, texturing, and/or carving. 51ab-built works are also textured in a similar style. I brush on glazes, and use wax resist technique on some. My works are made to be used, including bowls, trays, and tall hand-built vases. If chosen, I intend to make some tall hand-built slab vases vgrying in height from 10"H to 24"W. Bowls will be large serving size, of approximately 6"W x 14" w. Prices will range from $75-$250, depending on size and complexity, r' I will write a press release describing these works and the Initial Point Gallery if chosen. T have experience In writing press releases for my works in clay, from summer of 2010 for the Sun Valley Express for the Ketchum Arts Festival.
