It's gonna be another great year at Caliente!
I'll be in town on Thursday, but will only be vending Friday, so, if you see something you want, please PM me or come find me on grounds Thursday.

No molds are used. These started as a ball of clay and are handmade from start to finish.








I'll have cowrie shell eyes on this one.



This piece is three separate forms that were thrown on the potters wheel and combined.
It stands about 17" inches tall, without the shade.




This piece is two forms that were thrown on the wheel and combined. The headdress was added separately. The finished piece is about 12" inches tall and about 9" inches wide. By Caliente, it'll be a lamp.

If you're interested in following my work, please checkout my Instagram account, Jungle Modern Ceramics.
Thanks for looking and I hope to see you this weekend!

Aloha everybody!

I'll be vending at Caliente on Saturday only (I have to work on Friday & Sunday!)

Here's a few new Palm Springs-centric things I'll have:

A black paper drawing of the original Tropics entrance, with the cool outrigger sail sign.

A bowl inspired by the last remaining bits of Don the Beachcomber, the fire chamber is fashioned after one of the tiki torches!
The front of the bowl sports the sign to the restaurant.

A mug based on the Beachcomber tiki torches. The torch is the drinking vessel.

Looking forward to my one day in the sun! See everybody Saturday!

I was too caught up in the high-energy Hula Girls set to get any pictures but trust me it rock-a-billied to the max.
The Smokin' Menehunes led off Saturday and actually made me forget my hangover for a bit.

My front line or Crazy-Al Tikimania,Doug Horne,Janet Mulder,John Mulder,Jon Duzich,Susan Nelson,Kari Hendler,Marty Lush,Big Tiki Dude,D.J.Baz

It is not possible to do an event like this without Sponsors like Deadhead Rum,SHAG Store Palm Springs,Tonga Hut Palm Springs,Rhum Clément, Primo Beer,Singha Beer or LIVE Magazine from Palm Springs.

Also having entertainment that makes people want to come out and join in on the fun like, Jason Arimoto - Blues Ukulele, The Hula Girls,The Smokin' Menehunes, Jason Lee,Alika Lyman Group,Outerwave Surf Band
and Aloha Guitar. As well as our Bonus show with the Tony Marsico and the Martini Kings and Joel Cary Hile singing a couple selected tunes.
But most of all,I want to thank anyone who trusted us with their money to show them a good time. I know Money and Time are hard to part with,but I thank the people that did it with us this last weekend. I hope we were respectful to both, and make it worth your while.

Aloha!

Val and I had a great time at Tiki Caliente 6. Tons of great friends, crawling, shopping...and fantastic music. The Hula Girls, The Smokin' Menehunes, Jason Lee & The R.I.P. Tides, The Alika Lyman Group, and then the Martini Kings for a late night lobby show? Just really great.

Thanks Rory, the bands, Crazy Al, BigTikiDude, the vendors, ZTL for organizing the crawl, the crawl hosts, and the People Of Caliente!
