Potters share techniques
By Mark Houston
Friday Sports Editor
About 40 people participated in a
ceramics workshop Thursday and
Friday.
The workshop featured two
artists who shared personal tech-
niques in sculpting pottery said
David Brigmnn assistant profes-
sor of an.
Andrew Ivenlosch potter from
Tucson Ariz. demonstrated the
production of wheel-thrown func-
tional vessels. Carl Block potter
and an teacher from Waxahachie
displayed the production of wheel-
thrown sculpted folk-head jugs.
"The two artists were great"
Brigmnn said. "One of them
would hold the audience's atten-
tion for a half-hour to on hour and
then the other would take up
where the first left off. They had
the people shifting their attention
A

from one side of the room to the
other."
Brigmnn said the workshop was
educational and promotional.
"The workshop helps students in
ceramics to expose students to
professional artists" he said.
"It helps the students technically
with how to work the clay and
philosophically with the different
ways of producing art. It's also
good for the department" he
added.
Block said he agreed with Brig-
man but said the workshop was a
two-way transaction.
"We're really sharing ideas"
Block said. "Any time you have a
conversation you exchange ideas
and down the road they gel."
The participants included Abi-
lene residents and an occasionally
a class from McMurry University

Artist to demonstrate natural
By Kathy Colvett
Staff Writer
The Brown Library will offer an
opportunity to witness a natural
dyes demonstration Thursday in
recognition of March as Youth Art
Month.
Beginning at 4:30 p.m. on the
first floor of the library Larry Mil-
lar an art teacher from Cooper
High School will demonstrate how
natural dyes can be made and used
in creating or teaching art.
The demonstration is free and
will last about 90 minutes.
Millar will share some of the les-
son plans he uses to teach art. He
said he uses the dyes primarily to
color paper.
He uses rubber cement to serve as
an outline for stenciling words or
shapes onto paper with the dyes.

groupies women from the com-
munity that just got interested"
Brigman said. "They were always
around; that's why we called them
'groupies.'"
Keith Bcrgguist a local "frus-
trated artist" said the formal train-
ing in ceramics was the first in a
long time. "I never had a class; I
got married before I took it"
Bcrgquist said.
"I would like to get my hands in
the clay but I learn a lot from
watching" he said.
Participants worked with the
clay Friday afternoon after scrap-
ping a planned idea of making a
sculpture with clay from lakes
located in the Abilene area. Brig-
man said the participants were
more interested in making pottery.
The potters kept their vessels
and the department kept several
dozens of clay pieces left by the
artists.
The simple dye-art techniques
might be particularly useful for ele-
mentary education and art majors
he said.
The lesson plans include ideas
applicable to pll grade levels Millar
said.
He makes his dyes from materials
such as onion skins black walnuts
cactus and wood chips.
Basically any kind of plant fiber
can yield some sort of dye Millar
said.
Millar usually extracts the colors
by boiling or soaking the materials
he said.
Some materials are free when
personally gathered he said but
many of them cost money to obtain.
Wood chips for instance must be
bought by the pound he said.
Millar started working with natu-
ral dyes while attending college in

Costs cause
absence of
theme banner
ByMattZarbaush
Student Reporter
The theme banner that traditionally
hangs in Moody Coliseum during
Daily Assembly has been absent
for most of this semester. .
A new banner with a new themer.'
usually replaces the old one at the
beginning of each new semester.
"The purpose of the banner is to
help those participating in Chapel
tn have n focused thounht and
Inspirational lift throughout the J
day" said Rita Harrcll secretary of I
Student Services.
The reasons for the absent ban-
ner this semester include high cost
of repair and replacement.
Also last semester's theme
"Blessed arc those who hunger and w
thirst after righteousness for they 7
will be filled" had not been fully
explored so Student Services
decided to continue the topic said
Dr. Charles Trevathan vice presi-
dent of Student Services.
Several Daily Assembly speakers yrt
have been scheduled this semester
who wanted to speak on topics con-
nected to last semester's theme
said Trevathan.
When the decision was made to
continue the old theme Trevathan
had trouble locating the banner and
keeping it intact.
The banner was up for a few
days but was lost again. When
found the banner had been torn by
a group of high school students on
campus for the weekend said Trc- .
vathan. V
He also said the banner was
taken down and misplaced prior to
basketball games and Sing Song. !
The system for placement and
replacement of the banner needs td ;
improve Trevathan said. . v
The banner's absence has beert'Jt
noticed by students as well as facI-:
ulty. "Like writing down personal''
goals the banner always seemed to j
be a unified goal or an inspiring.
goal of the student body" said Jim '
Cleveland junior international
business major from Edmondj-3
Okla. -
"I always looked forward to scc-i
ing the banner each new semester" '
he added. '

He Tound them a part of a contin-
uing process in some art work he
was doing.
"It was an immediate way to get
a natural medium instead of a store- $
bought medium" Millar said.
Teachers who have learned some
of Millar's techniques said they
have enjoyed using the natural dyes
in their school classrooms he
explained. 4
However not everyone who
comes in contact with the ideas can
use them.
The usefulness depends on the
teacher's purposes Millar said.
A variety of other projects arc
planned by the library for Youth i
Art Month. Projects include a par-
tial art museum simulation and a
display of art work by local high
school students.
