South Texas College’s Art Department, together with the STC Library Art Gallery Program, is proud to present “A South Texas Ceramic Showdown: Up and Down and All Around.”
The conference includes clay demonstrations and talks by Carl Block of Flatland Pottery and Max Butler of Butler Pottery. Both ceramicists are graduates of The University of North Texas, currently teach at Texas ISD schools, own clay studios, and are active musicians. Among Block’s vast accomplishments, his work is featured in permanent art collections including the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C., Rice University, The University of Houston, The Chinati Foundation, and the personal collection of former president George H. Bush, to name a few. Butler studied in France and was apprentice to Jean Louis Gaudin. In 2004, he received the prestigious Japan Fulbright Memorial Fund Grant to study in Japan.
“We are pleased to have Block and Butler as our featured clay artists for ‘A South Texas Ceramic Showdown,’” said Chris Leonard, STC ceramics instructor and conference organizer. “As friends, Block and Butler share a history of creating utilitarian forms that are delightful. They don’t decorate, they do.

a bientot
Been learning this song on my saw. I first heard it on an old Jim Cullum Jazz Band vinyl recording from 1966. Can't get this song outa my head. Good thing I like it a lot. Started searching for a video of it this morning. Computer kept freezing up. Switched machines. In searching, it seems the song was written by Peanuts Hucko (1918-2003) who just happened to be my brothers neighbor in Denton a while back, Peanuts was a clarinetist who played with all the greats i ncludingGlen Miller, Benny Goodman, Louis Armstrong and Lawrence Welk.
hear the song here
gone but not forgotten
