Last Tuesday night a terrible event took Place on Arrowmont's campus. A gourd was brutally beheaded on the resident's front porch. The weapon was left at the scene of the crime, but no prints were able to be recovered. Investigators arrived on the scene and began questioning the residents and work studies who had been having a polite social gathering only a few feet away. Amazingly enough no one saw or heard a thing. Fredrick had always been a very quiet gourd. The family gathered around their beloved Fredrick to say a final farewell. Services will be held this coming Sunday the 31st. All flowers, food city gift cards and canned goods should be sent to the resident's home address. Thank you all for your concern. We will be sure to keep you updated as the investigation continues.

Hello once again! New and exciting things are happening on the Arrowmont campus! This week we are in the process of "changeover", taking down the Instructors exhibition *tear* and installing the exhibition for the Figurative Symposium. Ceramic sculptures! Some life size!!! All amazing!!! Today we had the privilege of working with Andrea Keys Connell and help her install her amazing larger than life sculptures. Installation should be finished this friday under the supervision of Ms. Amazing Karen Green, who has us running around the gallery prepping here and hanging there, just as good minions should. Hopefully we will get to see everyone of your faces at the Figurative Symposium, it promises to be the event of the year and we would hate for you to miss it! There will be demos and lectures by some of the most amazing ceramic artists in the country, dinning, dancing under the stars, and amazing conversation by fire light, what more could you ask for? Convinced yet? I know we had to twist your arm, sorry.
