Remembering our beloved Fred Chen (who passed away on January 9, 2022).

The Ceramic Club’s General Meeting on January 11, 2022 (held on Zoom) featured an informal session in honor of Fred Chen, who had passed away on January 9, 2022. Fred was such an important and well-loved member of our club! Included in this session were several of our members’ reminiscences and slideshows of Fred in our Ceramic Studio, as well as some photos of his wonderful pottery. A few photos of Fred are below. Also there's a video recording of the online memorial available for our members to view on YouTube. (Note: it’s about 31 minutes long.)

This meeting also featured a wonderful Show & Tell session of all sorts of things made by our members in recent months – and not all of them are ceramic, since our studio is still closed. In addition to pottery and sculpture, there were handmade books, jewelry, and knitted hats & scarves, among other things! See below for some of the pictures. For a more complete version (and to see exactly who created which pieces), check out the video of this session, which is available for our members to view on YouTube – click on the link below. (Note: it’s about 30 minutes long.)

Anne Shulenberger has created another little book using an old leather checkbook cover with collaged pages inside. The title is "Waves / Motion / Emotion" and two different sorts of waves are featured in it. The section of tan pages shows people waving their hands (including 2 children wearing surgical masks). The section of blue pages has photos of ocean waves. There are also words in each section: some phrases and some verses.
Carol Medina's pictures are below - some photographs taken on her rambles around Rossmoor and one artwork (bottom right). She says about the artwork: "it is simply  crayon scratch board.   I am sure many of you have done it in grade school.   I gave it as an assignment many a time in my classes with the little ones.  Also think I gave it to the adolescents and even once in a while to my adult classes .  I always thought it was kinda fun and the kids liked it......."

FYI - here's how you do it: Put layers of various different colors of crayons onto a piece of paper, then a layer of black crayon over everything. Scratch a design with a sharp instrument through it, to reveal the colors. (It will have a black background, of course.)
Terri Snyder has been making a large cylindrical vase, as well as experimenting with watercolors and rubber stamps on  cards. Nice work!
And Albert Goldreich has been making more of his colorful & highly textured vases, in his studio in Texas. Inspiring!
