Studio envy
Sunday, November 9, 2008 at 08:50PM I visited the Kay Nguyen's studio this past week. Kay is a ceramic artist. She makes pots, urns and small boxes that she glazes in blues and browns and sometimes red. I love everything she makes.
I spied her drawing the outline of a very large key with orange crayons last Tuesday. The key was almost a foot long and rusty and by Saturday, she'd made a perfect replica with clay. "I am making a box for it," she said. Now I want to see the box and the castle that goes around it.
But mostly, I want a studio like Kay's, a place where I could spread my crayons and line an army of tin cans filled with brushes. My sweetheart thinks it's an excellent idea. We could split the garage down the middle. I would get the right side, with the door, the window and the sink and the lawnmower would share the left side with the aluminum ladder and the barbecue pit.
I could picture a comfy Lazy-boy for thinking time and lots of wall space to hang my doodles. I could scrub the old sink and get an electrician to restore power. Yes, this could work.
