Hi Fayetteville Community,

I will be hosting a C R E A T I V E R U N C L U B that will start at the UARK Student and Design Center first floor lobby every Friday at 11 a.m.
.
This is a no-drop, beginning friendly community experience led by Leah Pollock with other guest creative leaders. The focus of this engagement is to emphasize creative pathways between thinking and movement. Leah Pollock will facilitate prompts that give space to qualitative thinking and relationship building, over the standard quantitative and metric-driven thinking that dominates athletics. The goal is to develop an understanding of embodied learning and how that affects all areas of life.

The club is open to students, faculty, and the public The meeting place is SDCR lobby and roll out at 11:10am. The run will be mostly road.

Will you attend tomorrow? by @studio_leahpollock

Anticipating showing new works this Thursday at MIXD Gallery. As I approach my 20th year working with clay, it’s been amazing to let myself evolve and stay true to listening to where I want to be in each moment. The same curiosity that pulled me into this medium still guides me today because I allow myself to act on those curiosities. I tell my students to run towards the fear because that is where the most learning can happen. We want to evolve.

New work coming soon to @mixd.gallery for the September Design Show. Excited to be a part of this show for the third year.

This work is roughly based on the Muir Woods trail system in Marin County, California where I have spent countless hours running, hiking, and daydreaming.

Stitches on my face become stitches in my work.

Honor the desire
Listen to the body
Put the hands to work
Make the work you crave
Let the mind watch it happen
Then ask the questions
Repeat the circle

Wood firing day 2 was a success! Today we wait and tomorrow we see if all the hard work paid off.

I’m so thankful to @studio_leahpollock for bringing me along for the ride and to @zachtate_artist for hosting and teaching us the ways of the wood fired kiln.

I’ve learned so much in the process and I can’t wait to see the work unloading tomorrow to get all the data and feedback from the pots to catalogue for the next time I get the opportunity to fire! 🔥 taken in Jonesboro, Arkansas by @studio_leahpollock

Reflecting on the unpredictable magic that a layer of atmosphere provides. Those who chase it, know its rewards are more than physical.

Loading up a few pieces in a class soda firing today and seeing the possibilities for new tile work. Trying 3/8”, 1/2”, 1” tiles to see what can lay flat. Porcelain, “tile” stoneware clay, and reclaim. Stay tunned!

Most of these pieces have sold. However, many more are in the works.
