[Ceramics] [Daily Life] BELL CARVING WORKSHOP
February 24. 2010
? Earlier this month, the Ceramics department hosted a bell-carving session for the new workshop. Participants had the opportunity to learn the processes and techniques taught to employees of the department.

? Using simple utility knives with specialized blades, they learned carving strokes and practiced on a small bell. Then, given a larger bell, participants created a final design for themselves.

? Later the bells were fired and assembled and available to take home.


? The Year of the Tiger began on February 14th, 2010 and Arcosanti residents celebrated the Chinese New Year among other events that busy day with a parade and bonfire.

Astrid Sonne and Kirsten Lynge applied the finishing touches to their dragon's head in preparation for the parade.

? The group assembled in the café before walking through site with drums; hoping to drive out any bad spirits.

? Brian Thompson and Kirsten headed up the dragon.

? Jose Masoy followed close behind.


? On Sunday, February 14th, the 2010 Annual Resident Art Show opened in the early afternoon. Many visitors stopped by Arcosanti during the long holiday weekend and had an opportunity to view our display. We provided light refreshments, wine, and music for the event.

Among many other artists, Sammie Tapia presented her oil paintings of the local environment.

? Artists from Cosanti also joined our show, pictured here is work by Maria Soleri and Katharine Simpson.

? Pastel paintings by Colleen Reckow and sculpture by Cliff Hersted returned again this year.

? Landscape photographs by David DeGomez.

? To celebrate Valentines Day, community members decorated the café with paper roses while enjoying the music and conversation.

? It was argued that "everyone should have a chandelier," after the installation of a new lighted fixture above the café bar seating (also an element of the art show created by Astrid Sonne and Kirsten Lynge).

Meanwhile, Pete spun a mix of Jazz, the Beatles, and light music for the afternoon.
