PRISMACOLORS!
Helen Shirk
Helen makes vessels and other large sculptural forms onto which she directly applies the color. Obvious references to nature take advantage of the richness of color created with the Prismacolor. Notice the more textural aspect to the copper, which aids in grounding the color. Shirk teaches at San Diego State University.
Deb Karash
Her work resembles the ways in which many enamelists work. She works on an often flatter surface, applying images to the surface. She then makes a setting to hold the prismacolored piece.
Okay, okay... this isn't on metal, it's on shrinky-dinks. But it's using Prismacolor, and it's so saturated and fun.

Die Forming
Hey all. I'll be helping Arthur with the blog some, so I just wanted to say hi. Hi!
Anyways, here's some examples of die formed work. Hope it helps get the brain juices moving. Enjoy.
Shana Kroiz- http://www.shanakroiz.com/
She's got fun funky forms and bright colors. Check out her work, straight out of Baltimore. I like how she combines the die forming with other techniques to transform the die formed metal. Look at page 4 of the gallery for a couple sweeeeet boxes, including the one below.

This is a cool way of working with the die form, just making one relief image then working around it to create other relationships.
Allyson Bone- http://www.allysonbone.com/
She's got some really sweet pieces that definitely are related to a lot of the skills Arthur is showing in this class. Go check out her website for sure. This whale is nice- you can tell there's some sort of roll printed texture on its body, similar to the idea of the hammered peanut from class. I also like how there's hidden flowers underneath. Go to the website to see the finished piece.
David Anderson- The Fancy Flask!
This is a fairly straight forward form, but with a little decoration and nice lid.... tadaa! Fancy Flask. I like how the edge is kept from the original sheet. It probably helps too in getting the two sides to line up exactly.
Lynette Andreason- http://lynetteandreasen.blogspot.com/
Lynette's a second year grad at Arizona State. With a recent show at Mobilia Gallery in Boston, and such beautiful, engaging work, she is someone to keep your eyes on. Go to her website and explore, there's some interesting things there.

samples samples samples
So here are some things I need from you guys in addition to your shakers.
I would like four objects/samples:
- one cube that is at least 1.5" x 1.5" x 1.5" with at least one patterned side
- one sphere of any size larger than 1/2" in diameter
- one other object of your choice (can be derived from a sphere or cube, think faceted stone
shape we looked at in class).
- one object/container that has a lid (we will demo multiple lids in class soon, friction fit,
hinged, clasp, chained...etc etc)
These will be due October 29th.
