Josh Ruder's summer internship at Liberty Arts was a win-win for all involved. He helped us build two raku kilns, test glazes, create patterns and pour at the foundry. He also found plenty of time to create many of his own pieces which will comprise his solo show at Brown University in October.

What you missed Last Thursday
This past Last Thursday@Liberty Arts featured three demonstrations of our artists at work. John Parkinson shared his weaving (Danish cord) technique on a beautiful new custom walnut bench. David Huber fired up his lathe to show his turning and sanding skills on the briar burls he turns into amazing artisan tobacco pipes. Out back Evie and Josh were pulling 1700 degree pots out of their recently finished raku kiln and completing the ancient process to produce beautiful pieces to the oohs and ahhs of the crowd. You can expect more of the same this coming Last Thursday@Liberty Arts on August 27th.
