Christmas Art Tile Sale!

News at Studio Shannon

I cannot wait to show you the jewelry that being created in the studio right now. It is very exciting. I have discovered a line of natural stone beads that look fabulous with my clay creation jewelry. Terra Bonita! I will get pics done as soon as I have a spare moment and share the joy. Classes! This week was the first week of the new class schedule. The flyer was a huge success and I have added three new classes to my weekly schedule. Another morning pottery class, a night time watercolor class and a morning Jewelry/Wirewrapping class. I have three students interested in the Thursday afternoon class and need just one more student for the class to make. If we can find another student we can start next week. Get the word out! Thank you for spreading the word about these classes. It's great having new energy bursting in and out of the studio and with so many different classes being taught, I can assure you that there is never a dull moment! and you are forcing me to keep the work tables clean. Pictures soon!

Shrimp and Petroleum Festival Art Show Winners

Several of my students and I won awards at this years Shrimp and Petroleum Festival Show. This is the first time I can recall a ceramics piece winning Best of Show. And two of my students got Honorable Mentions. We are very excited!

Medium: Ceramics. Catagory: Other

HONORABLE MENTION. Artist: Heather Magann. Title: Rose Vase Medium: Ceramics Catagory: Children

Heathers Rose Vase

Give a child a piece of mud! Hey Everyone. The show was extremely successful with over 200 people showing up. It was a great celebration. Since then, I have taken a break from painting for just a short time. I have taken this time to lay down the leaf tiles along with the other tiles in my bedroom. And! I am creating the tiles for the backsplash of my kitchen. I can't wait to show pics of this when it is all done. Meanwhile, I gave a private lesson to four eleven year old girls and they did spectacular. Afterwards... one of the girls took in upon herself to dig up clay in her backyard on the bayou and create on her own. Today she showed up with this! I just got goosebumps and tears of joy. I can't believe one two hour lesson inspired this young person. I don't know if I've felt this much joy creating something on my own. Way to go Heather! I am very proud. (Of course this is still wet bayou clay. I will post again after it has been glazed.) Can you believe?

Nancy House - SOLD

11X14 Watercolor on cotton paper. This is a house that was commissioned for me to paint. Lots of fun.

Blogger Follower Art Sale

Hey Gang! I haven't been posting because I am busy preparing advertising, framing, and planning for the Art Show on Everett Street Gallery. Many of you showed interest in pieces as I painted them over the last six months. I had to have the 100 for the show and so could not let go of them. I am currently listing the prices on the blog. If you want one... email me, send a check, and I will mark the piece "sold" at the show and mail it to you after August 22nd. (The end of the showing) Please note that these are the unframed prices. Once framed and hung in the gallery the price goes up accordingly. Thanks for following my progress! And stay tuned... I have several more watercolors to post and then... I'm doing something else!!
