Susy Siegele and Mike Haley will conduct a workshop at The University of
Texas at Tyler in Tyler, Texas on Thursday January 28th from 8:30 am
until.....Susy and Mike are nationally known ceramic artists working with
colored porcelain. Their method of working with clay involves layering
different colors of clay into loaves which, when sliced like bread, reveal
carefully constructed patterns in the clay. Each slice from a loaf will be
shaped into a piece of pottery. The twenty or so colors they mix are all
based on the same porcelain body, which is a wonderfully vitreous and
durable medium for functional work. "Our ideas bounce back and forth through
each of our personal filters, sometimes gathering energy and feeling,
turning into something good, and sometimes being dropped by the wayside, but
always working toward some nebulous ideal piece of work that will speak with
eloquence." See their cool new web site at:

Workshop is provided to all at no charge by UTT Art Club. Come to ceramic
studio or contact
me if you need more information.
