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.

Hello again, yes we've been gone awhile. We're sorry we know how you feel. But we promise we were thinking about you the whole time.

A quick update for those of you who just can't get enough. Last week we traveled to Murray State University in Murray Kentucky to set up our first group show! yah!

We came back to Arrowmont on Tuesday to help the amazing gallery director Karen Green set up for the live auction on thursday night! Oh the excitement! The artwork was amazing! We can not thank everyone enough for their support and generosity. Over 10,000 was raised for Arrowmont's scholarship and educational program!!

Friday morning after the auction, we jumped in the car and raced back to Murray State Univ. where we gave presentations on our work and then attended the opening reception from 6-8 in the Upper Gallery (7th floor)- The show will be up for two weeks, so if your in the neighborhood stop on by and let us know what you think. We'll post pictures for those of you who can't make it- don't worry.

A BIG Thank You to everyone who supported us during this raffle! Friday at 1:00 we had raised a total of $740.00. Ethel Hamlin, who works for Arrowmont and won the Shawn O'Connor teapot went above and beyond, when she gifted the teapot back to the auction and allowed for it to be sold. Adding an additional $100.00 to our total. We can not begin to tell everyone how excited we are about the final outcome and we want to thank you all very much for helping us along our way. Now the hard work of designing and putting together a catalog with four crazy artists will begin!!!

Hello Everyone! This week we are fundraising! Each of us made a lovely piece which will be raffled off this friday the 6th at 1:00p.m. Our goal is to raise enough money to fund an end of the year exhibition catalog. Below are the pieces that are to be raffled off, if anyone wants a ticket you better get them while they're still hot and fresh! Just because the heat index is up, doesn't mean our fundraising thermometer is rising, so, BUY BUY BUY!!

We will also gladly accept donations throughout the year to help with this project.
