Progress On Spring 2017
I'm doing a series of torches using the techniques of chasing and repousee
The first one is the Torch of Liberty
Next to it is the Torch of Truth after first having the general form repoused out
Shown after the first course of chasing down the details along with a set of copper discs that are punched out in preparation to becoming roses
After the second course of hammering on the Torch the details are coming out. Roses appear on thevearrings after their first course.
Shaping up, ready for the third course.
What it looks like today.

Mill Race Bridge in San Antonio
There is a longstanding tradition of using ceramic tile as exterior architectural trim in San Antonio. There is a gallery of Mill Race Bridge details fount on her web site, www.kerseyceramics.com. I think you can poke around this site and discover some delights.
She joins 119 other top artists this weekend in San Antonio at the Southwest School of Art Fiesta Art Fair, arguably the number 1 art fair in Texas in terms of awesomeness, and one of the premier shows in the country.
