Letter from the Owner I am so proud to celebrate the first birthday of Leland Magazine! Our sister publication, Southport Magazine, has been around for six years and will also celebrate its birthday in October. The success of Southport Magazine allowed me the opportunity to start up Leland Magazine last October. The response to Leland Magazine has been overwhelming. Our goal with Leland Magazine is to create a useful source of information specially for the residents of the communities we serve: Belville, Waterford, Magnolia Greens, Compass Pointe, Brunswick Forest and Leland. If there is a concert, art show or public event - we want to promote it. We want to link all these neighborhoods together and create a cohesive, one-stop source for all that is happening in the local Leland area. Our company is small and our efforts are genuine. None of this could be possible without our hard working editorial staff. Editor Ami Brown has really stepped up to the plate and compiled a great team of writers that get the job done on a shoestring budget. Ami organizes the features each month and assigns the writers. She also lays out the paper each month. She is simply, awesome! Staff writers: Kass Fincher, Carla Edstrom, Brian Tully, Lisa Stites and Jeffrey Stites are all exceptional people with a true talent for writing. Graphic Designers: Liz Brinker, Chuck and Sue Cothran are the best around. The ads they create are creative, beautiful and effective. I would like to acknowledge some of local people who had a positive impact on Leland Magazine from the inception. Whether it was through words of encouragement, advertising dollars or a distribution site, these people are the reason Leland Magazine is celebrating its first birthday! Thank you!

Finally, I would like to thank my daughter, Brooke Beasley and my husband, Alan Beasley. Brooke helped me deliver the very first issue and find distribution sites. She still helps me deliver when she is not working her full-time job! Alan continues to support me from behind the scenes with technical and computer assistance. Whatever I need, he is always there for me. As a birthday gift to the magazine, I was able to save up enough money the first year, to buy new delivery boxes! They look so great and much better that the refurbished ones I started with. It has been a pleasure watching the magazine grow and see it’s positive impact on the area. The best is yet to come!

community “Southport” Returns Home
Following a year of rehabilitation, a sea turtle rescued by workers at the Brunswick Nuclear Plant named Southport, was released back to the Atlantic. STORY BY KAREN J. WILLIAMS
T
he Brunswick Nuclear Plant operation includes responsibility for managing 1,200 acres of land and wetlands. This responsibility includes the plant’s use of water from the Cape Fear River used in the condenser to cool steam created for electrical generation. The cooling system flushes about a million gallons of water a minute through the condenser. Southport in his pool at the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Hospital, June 16, The plant pulls water from the Cape Fear River through a diversion structure, which uses 37 sets of panels to screen out and divert fish, shellfish and other organisms from entry. The intake canal is approximately 300 feet wide and travels about 3 miles to the plant intake structure. At the plant, traveling screens and trash racks collect debris and aquatic organisms and wash them back into a tidal creek. This fish return system, known as the “slide for life,” allows larval, juvenile and adult organisms to return to the estuary system. The river water discharges from the plant and is sent through a 6-mile long canal and is pumped 2,000 feet off-shore at a depth of about 18 feet. The system moves about 1.5 billion gallons of water each day. The process of heating and agitating the brackish water results in foam. Environmental studies at the plant began in 1968 (pre-construction) to understand and monitor the impacts of the plant on the local estuary system. Decades of data demonstrate that the Brunswick plant has no impact to the fish and shellfish populations in the estuary. Improvements at the diversion
structure, where water is pulled from the river, have dramatically limited the intake of larger organisms and debris. The intake was once a hazard for turtles that sometimes swim up-river, but since 2014 that hazard has been largely eliminated. The one exception occurred last spring, when the diversion structure was opened for a few minutes to allow the passage of a dredge. In just a few short minutes, two turtles slipped by and entered the intake. One was trapped at the intake and did not survive. The other was rescued by plant workers. The rescued turtle was severely injured and so was transported to the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Hospital in Surf City. Once there, hospital veterinarians determined that the turtle had been attacked by an alligator, losing one of its rear flippers and suffering damage to the other rear flipper and around its head and neck. Had the turtle not been rescued, he likely would have perished from the wounds. The turtle, named “Southport” by hospital staff, spent a year in the hospital recuperating. On June 20, 2018, the Duke Energy technician who saved Southport was able to escort the turtle back to the ocean and send him home.

Sea turtles are one of the Earth’s most ancient creatures. The seven species that can be found today have been around for 110 million years, since the time of the dinosaurs. The sea turtle’s shell, or “carapace” is streamlined for swimming through the water. Unlike other turtles, sea turtles cannot retract their legs and head into their shells. Their color varies between yellow, greenish and black depending on the species. DIET: What sea turtles eat depends on the subspecies, but some common items include jellyfish, seaweed, crabs, shrimp, sponges, snails, algae and mollusks. POPULATION: It is difficult to find population numbers for sea turtles because male and juvenile sea turtles do not return to shore once they hatch and reach the ocean, which makes it hard to keep track of them. RANGE: Green sea turtles can stay under water for as long as five hours even though the length of a feeding dive is usually five minutes or less. Their heart rate slows to conserve oxygen: nine minutes may elapse between heartbeats.:Sea turtles are found in all warm and temperate waters throughout the world and migrate hundreds of miles between nesting and feeding grounds. Most sea turtles undergo long migrations, some as far as 1400 miles, between their feeding grounds and the beaches where they nest. BEHAVIOR: Sea turtles spend most of their lives in the water, where not much information can be gathered on their behavior. Most of what is known about sea turtle behavior is obtained by observing hatchlings and females that leave the water to lay eggs. Sea turtles, like salmon, will return to the same nesting grounds at which they were born. When females come to the shore they dig out a nest in the ground with their back flippers, bury their clutch of eggs and return to the ocean. After hatching, the young may take as long as a week to dig themselves out of the nest. They emerge at night, move toward the ocean and remain there, solitary, until it is time to mate. REPRODUCTION: Temperature: Temperatures of the sand where the turtles nest determine the sex of the turtle: below 85 degrees Fahrenheit (30ºC) is predominately male; above 85 degrees Fahrenheit (30ºC) is predominately female. Mating Season: March-October depending on the species. Gestation: 6-10 weeks. Clutch size: Between 70-190 eggs depending on the species. When the young hatch out of their eggs, they make their way to the ocean. Few survive to adulthood. source: defenders.org

THROWING ORDER
The player with the least amount of strokes on the previous hole is the first to tee off on the next hole. After teeing off, the player whose disc is farthest from the hole always throws first.
FAIRWAY THROWS
Fairway throws must be made from directly behind the lie. A run-up and normal follow-through, after release, is allowed, unless the lie is within 10 meters of the target. Any shot within 10 meters of the target requires that the player not move past
the lie until the disc is at rest.
DOGLEG (OR MANDATORY)
A dogleg/Mando is one or more designated trees or poles in the fairway that must be passed as indicated by arrows. Until the dogleg/Mando is passed the closest foot to the dogleg/Mando must be on the lie when the disc is released.
COMPLETION OF HOLE
A disc that comes to rest in the basket or chains constitutes successful completion of that hole.
currents
UNPLAYABLE LIE
Any disc that comes to rest above the ground is considered an unplayable lie. The disc must be thrown from the lie on the ground, directly underneath the unplayable lie, relocated to avoid damage to the vegetation.
OUT OF BOUNDS
If any area of O.B. is visible between the disc and O.B. line, then the disc is considered O.B. A throw that lands out of bounds, must be played from a point 3 feet in bounds from where the disc went out of bounds. The walking path around the Municipal Park is O.B.

A Mayor’s Message In the wake of Hurricane Florence...
L
eland, NC – While working at the Brunswick Family Assistance distribution site, I had the opportunity to speak with a number of people whose lives have been turned upside down by Hurricane Florence. Some remain without power and have little to no food remaining at their homes, some cannot return to work and are missing paychecks and some have lost their homes entirely. While many of the neighborhoods in Leland fared very well in the storm, others have been completely devastated.
As we begin recovery, it is important that those who fared well remember how truly lucky they are. The recovery from Florence will take months; not days or weeks. Loved ones will return to the area, roads will be cleared, utilities will be restored, stores will reopen and we will begin to get back to some sense of normalcy; but some

things will take time. There are hundreds of thousands of tons of debris in Leland and Brunswick County that will have to be removed; there are houses that will have to be repaired; there are streets and bridges that will have to be inspected to ensure they are safe. All these things take time and I ask for your patience in this process.

I encourage you to contact Brunswick Family Assistance at 910-754-4766 or e-mail brunswickfamily@yahoo.com to find out how you can help. I also encourage you to be alert and aware of potential scams and unscrupulous contractors. We have gotten reports of a number of people from out of the area and even from out of state descending upon Leland to take advantage of our citizens. Please be wary of anyone going door to door and remember to contact your insurance company before hiring anyone to do work on your home. If you do suspect a scammer in Leland or Brunswick County, please report it to 911, (910) 253-2777, or (910) 253-5383. Finally, I want to encourage you to regularly check the News section of the Town of Leland website and Leland social media feeds for official communications from the Town. Unfortunately the rumor mill kicks into high gear during emergency and recovery situations, but official Town communications – along with official Brunswick County communications – are the best place to get the facts. I truly wish you and your families the best as we move into recovery. Florence hit us hard, but we are a strong community and we will persevere.

Biz Q&A Teen Court in Session Brunswick County making a difference in the lives of teens STORY BY TODD BEANE & JAMIE DUESING (CIS)
S
ometimes kids need a second chance. We’ve all done something in our past maybe we shouldn’t have. It’s part of learning from your mistakes, right? Brunswick County has an excellent program that allows teens, peers and mentors hold a teen court simulation, to do just that, give those a second chance that need it. Here is the scoop. (Article provided by Todd Beane and Jamie Duesing) Fewer Brunswick County students are dropping out of school today. Brunswick County dropout rate was 3.82% and in 2015-2016, it had dropped to 3.28%. This is good news for students in our community, as staying in school and graduating gives Brunswick County students the best chance for success. They are becoming better prepared for a successful life and are setting and achieving the goal of completing high school and pursuing college, career, or military service following graduation. When students succeed, our communities succeed. The lower dropout rate is a result of many factors. One of those contributing factors is Communities In Schools of Brunswick County (CIS) programs that intervene with at-risk students. More specifically, CIS Peer Court and Teen Court programs directly affect students’ futures and reduce county court costs in the process. The CIS Peer Court program operates in all five Brunswick County middle schools, serving first-time middle school offenders and offering volunteer opportunities for students to learn about the judicial system. Peer Court is funded by CIS and support from Brunswick County Schools. Teen Court provides the same services and opportunities to high school students. Teen Court is a partnership between CIS and the Brunswick County District Attorney’s Office, made possible through financial support provided by the Juvenile Crime Prevention Council, CIS and Brunswick County. Both programs are diversion programs allowing offenders to take responsibility for their offense, have their case heard by a jury of peers, and complete a constructive sentence. This allows youth to avoid a juvenile record if they successfully
“The Teen Court program is one of the very best things that we do in the criminal justice system,” complete their sentencing requirements. Both programs are highly effective with very few juveniles reoffending within one year of completing their sentencing requirements. Last year the recidivism rate for Teen Court was 4.2% and 11.8% for Peer Court. “The Teen Court program is one of the very best things that we do in the criminal justice system,” said District Attorney Jon David. “Simultaneously, we are able to give consequences to behavior while also providing a teaching moment to our youth. I cannot say enough about the collaborative relationship between the District Attorney’s office and CIS.” Peer Court cases are heard monthly at each middle school during after school hours. Teen Court cases are heard in a courtroom at the Brunswick County Courthouse one evening each month. Parents must participate in the Peer and Teen Court process as well, along with their child who committed the offense. Student volunteers are mentored in legal procedures by adult volunteers from the community who have legal backgrounds as well as local attorneys and judges who volunteer their time to hear cases. Both programs show the powerful impact of partnerships: with members of the legal system, a local non-profit, and the community successfully coming together to have a positive effect on local youth.

Tommy, a Teen Court student volunteer attorney shared, “Teen Court has been a life altering experience. I have been able to practice my public speaking skills and work with so many wonderful people in our community. Teen Court serves a great purpose in Brunswick County by giving teens the opportunity of a second chance and a better life.” Peer Court and Teen Court provide a “hands on” educational experience for student volunteers in an effort to help them better understand our system of justice. Student volunteers serve as attorneys, jurors, bailiffs and clerks in real cases involving first-time juvenile offenders. “I love working with Peer Court and being able to help other students who have done wrong and give them a second chance without hurting their permanent record. My favorite role is a prosecutor in Peer Court, but I also like mentoring younger students and teaching them how the court system works. I will definitely stay involved with Teen Court when I go on to high school,” said Cedar Grove Middle School Peer Court student volunteer Mikayla. Caleb, an eighth grade volunteer student attorney from Shallotte Middle School said, “Peer Court is an amazing experience that allows kids to experience the legal world. Because of what Peer Court has helped me learn, I plan to become a lawyer. Peer Court allowed me to see how lawyers work and do trials. There is a real judge and adult lawyers who volunteer that help the kid lawyers learn. A Peer Court trial is nothing short of amazing.”
TRAINING
Brunswick County Teen Court will hold student volunteer trainings at the Brunswick County Courthouse. Students in
“I love working with Peer Court and being able to help other students who have done wrong and give them a second chance without hurting their permanent record.”
grades 9-12 can volunteer and will be trained to serve as attorneys, jurors, bailiffs, and clerks in Teen Court cases involving first-time juvenile offenders. Brunswick County Teen Court is a partnership program between Communities In Schools and the Brunswick County District Attorney’s Office, made possible through financial support provided by the Juvenile Crime Prevention Council and Brunswick County. Student volunteers get a handson educational experience that helps them better understand our system of justice. Juvenile offenders participating in this diversion program saves the county at least $2,000 per case. Last year, January – December 2017, 81 defendants were served and student volunteers donated 1,828 hours of their time to participate in the program.

Cheers Simply Cider
Hard ciders, the perfect Fall choice STORY AND PHOTO BY JEFF STITES
H
ard cider is probably as old as beer and wine. It’s simply fermented apples, which isn’t hard to achieve even by accident. Apples are much less finicky than grapes and fermenting them doesn’t require to boiling of wort that beer needs. Basically, anyone with apples can make hard cider.
The Motherland of hard ciders is England, where cider-specific orchards are recorded as far back as the Norman invasion in 1066. Cider is traditionally made from apples that wouldn’t be good to eat with your lunch or bake into a pie. Cider apples are bitter, sour and contain much higher levels of tannins than the apples we eat. That’s not to say you can’t make hard cider from the apples at Lowes (see below), but it won’t give you the acidic, tart flavors ciders are known for. I love hard ciders as a break from beer and wine, as a refresher on a nice autumn day, or as a mixer half-and-half with a lager. They are similar in style and look to beer, but are really a form of wine (as they are fermented fruit juice). Hard cider really holds a place of its own in the adult beverage world, and I think it is worth a closer look.
RHIZE UP! GINGER CIDER
6% ABV The Label Says: Take to the streets with the bull! This ginger rhizome infused hard cider will rhize up against the ordinary. My Take: It certainly is different. The ginger is very forward making this cider a bit too spicy to be truly refreshing. The liquid is a nice, sort of bright yellow and the carbonation is just right. The cider is dry to the point of almost tart, though I’m having a hard time sorting out if that is attributable to the ginger or the cider. I feel like without the ginger, this would be delicious and not just interesting. And don’t get too confused by the “rhizome” thing, it’s just the name for the ginger root you’re used to seeing in the grocery store produce section. Ginger is purported to have health benefits, to those who put stock in such things, supposedly helping with gastro-intestinal problems and fighting inflammation. If you needed a medical excuse to have a nice cider drink, this might be for you.
BOLD ROCK HARD CIDER, GRANNY SMITH CIDER
4.7% ABV The Label Says: Nothing much, really. My Take: This is like training wheels hard cider. It’s heavily carbonated and fairly sweet with no real cider-y punch to it at all. It’s more like hard apple juice now that I think about it. The cider is so pale as to be almost clear, so it looks as non-descript as it tastes. As the name suggests, this is made from granny smith apples, not apples bred specifically for cider, so that’s probably why it tastes so…..blah. I hate to be unpatriotic, but this stuff is way too Americanized. But if you’re new to hard ciders and want a gateway beverage, this might be the ticket. But I have to warn you, this is the Natural Light of hard ciders.
ANGRY ORCHARD ROSÉ HARD CIDER
5.5% ABV The Label Says: Made with rare French red flesh apples My Take: Those apples can’t be too awfully rare, everyone and their brother has a rosé cider out now. I have to admit, when I saw these come out I assumed it was gimmick to get the rosé wine crowd (young women, demographically, though it made my wife make a face) to try hard ciders.
It may be just that, if not a gimmick then at least a marketing ploy, but the cider isn’t bad at all. The smell when you open the bottle is very rosé wine-like, and the taste is a bit of a twist on traditional ciders without going so far off the reservation as to not give you what you want when you reach for a cider. This cider is dry but still somehow very fruity. It’s not quite as dry as I prefer, but it’s a middle of the road that will make lots of people happy, I think. I would pair this with cheese as part of a nice snack. If you are a fan of rosé wine, I think you’ll really like this.
just the right amount of tiny bubble carbonation. Its perfectly balanced between fruity and tart and it just feels a bit thicker on the tongue than any of the other ciders I’ve sampled tonight. This one feels, and tastes, much more apple cider-like than apple juice-like, and that is precisely what I’m looking for in a hard cider.
STELLA ARTOIS CIDRE
4.5% ABV The Label Says: European Style Cider My Take: Look, I’m all for American and all but when it comes to ciders the Europeans just really know how to do it right. Maybe it’s the orchards of apples grown just for the purpose of cider-making. Maybe it’s the tradition of cider drinking that goes back hundreds and hundreds of years. I don’t know what exactly they do differently, but Stella Cidre is spectacular. Stella Cidre is a nice dark yellow with www.LelandMag.com / OCTOBER 2018 / Leland Magazine 19

Savor Fork, Corks & Kegs
Restaurant Week Scheduled for Oct 15-21 STORY BY KASS FINCHER
Y
ou don’t have to be a self-avowed foodie to enjoy sampling some of the creative dishes our area’s chefs will come up with during the inaugural 2018 Restaurant Week, an event of the Southport-Oak Island Chamber of Commerce. Dubbed “Forks, Corks and Kegs,” this fun event will take place October 15-21 this year.
Restaurant weeks are very popular, because they give chefs an opportunity to diverge from their usual menu and offer new dishes for patrons to try. In addition to special menu items, the restaurants will have special price points as well as prix-fixe options – multiple course choices at a special price point. The Chamber picked this week since it is usually a slower time of year for our restaurants, and with the extra promotion the organization hopes this will enable our restaurants to pick up some additional business. The week
is also sponsored by Southport Magazine, Oak Island Accommodations, Margaret Rudd and Associates, Inc.,REALTORS and The State Port Pilot. Here are the participating restaurants:
Bella Cucina, Blue Cow Grille,
Dry Street Pub & Pizza, Fish
House Restaurant, Mr P’s Bistro, Ports of Call Bistro, Shagger
Jacks of Oak Island, Southport
Cheese Shoppe, Southport
Smoke House, The Grape & Ale, Tropical Smoothie Cafe’, & Uncorked by the Sea.
Restaurant-goers need do nothing other than check out the menus and go sample the offerings. Menus will
be available closer to the event. For more information contact the Southport-Oak Island Area Chamber of Commerce at (910) 457-6964 or visit the website www.southport-oakisland. com , www.forkscorkskegs.com or www.sptokirestaurantweek.com Go support our restaurants and enjoy!

Health & Fitness Fountain of Youth Exercise well to live well STORY BY BRIAN TULLY, MS, EP-C
W
e are all going to age; there is simply no getting around that, but how “old” we get is somewhat up to us. It has often been heard that exercise is the fountain of youth. However the type of exercise and the execution of those exercises will play an important role in its effectiveness. The joints of the body require a fine balance between mobility and stability. Certain joints are more specific to a role of stability and others are more in the mobility end of the spectrum. Our training and our daily activities should strive to keep the different joints in their preferred end of the spectrum. When we cheat the joints into the wrong end of the spectrum, we break down our body. Sure the body is resilient enough to

roll with it and adapt to fulfill the flawed movement request, but over time we pay the price. For example, the hips are considered to be one of the joints in the mobility end of the spectrum. This means that the joints above and below are meant to be more on the stability side of things. Those joints would be the low back and the knees. Surprise…Two of the more common pain and injury sites we are forced to endure. Many of you will rule these injury sites as part of the aging process. The “it’s just happening because I am getting older” diagnosis doesn’t have to be true. Using your joints in the correct manner will give you years of reliable, pain free movement. But this is dependant on the fact that you are using them correctly and consistently. Let me get back to the resiliency factor I mentioned earlier. Yes you can operate with tight hips and rotate from your lumbar spine without any issues for years. But then one day you bend over to pick up a pen you dropped…and it happens…pain and tightness in the low back that stops you in your tracks. What happened? Was that pen really that heavy that it threw your back out? Not likely you are experiencing the cumulative effect of using the joints incorrectly for too long. To help you visualize what I am talking about, think about taking a wire hanger and trying to bend and break it. Doesn’t happen does it? It just bends. But what if you then bent it back the other way, then back again, and continued back and forth until all of a sudden it snaps like a thin, dry piece of wood. Was it that one bend at the end that finally snapped it or was the cumulative back and forth motion. I think you see my point. Continuing with the hips example, lack of disassociation of the spine and the hips is one the main causes of low back issues. An unstable lumbar spine will lead to de-
22 Leland Magazine /OCTOBER 2018 / www.LelandMag.com
generative disc disease, sacroiliac (SI) joint problems, sciatica, degenerative facet joint, etc. Years of an unstable lumbar spine creates the repetitive stress cycles that ultimately break it down until you are left with these problems. This doesn’t have to be your path though. Getting your hips mobile by improving range of motion in all planes and balancing that range of motion will allow the hips to do their job. And once they can do their job you can work on disassociating them from the lumbar spine. Then the lumbar region can focus on its job of stabilizing the core. Although we mostly discussed the hips here, the major joints of the body all have a similar impact when not used correctly. The body staggers back and forth from stable to mobile from the ground up to
create the stability and mobility the body needs to move with both control and power. See the chart included in the article to see which joints are designed for which role. As mentioned earlier, when a joint is functioning more in the wrong side of the spectrum…the joints above and below take the impact. The ultimate goal is to train smart to be strong for the long term. This is important in both your exercise and your daily life activities. When you use your body well, you can move well for life. This will give you the feeling of utilizing the fountain of youth to your favor for the life you deserve.

Art Beat More Than Pots

nspired by nature and human forms, these ceramics are extraordinary and unique. Strickland uses traditional hand built techniques as well as wheel-thrown clay to create these sometimes large masterpiece works. Irvine’s unique creations are truly one of a kind and I can’t wait to see these in person. Their reception is October 11, 6-8pm at the Leland Cultural Art Center. You don’t want to miss this modern display. Kathy Irvine’s Pottery
YIFENN C. STRICKLAND
Drawn to wabi sabi objects, nature & human forms, I create ceramic pieces that are mostly hand built, sometimes wheel thrown or assisted, then often altered and reconstructed to mimic these forms. I enjoy the freedom of creating sculpturally inspired functional forms with emphasis on line and surface. I aim to create work that can speak to the viewer without an artist’s explanation to limit their imagination. In my work, much consideration is given to the finishing or glazing stage of the making. My glazing process differs depending on the form and the nature of its surfaces. Non-textured forms with fluid lines are often sprayed with overlapping layers of glazes, while forms with textured surfaces might have glazes hand-rubbed on them. Some of the forms might command a texturized glaze surface, while others merely require a thin wash of oxides.
YiFenn Strickland’s Pottery
YiFenn Strickland Currently, most of my work is oxidation fired in an electric kiln to cone 6 (2269 degrees fahrenheit). Artist Biography YiFenn C. Strickland had an interest in art at an early age. However, she did not have the opportunity to study art until 2003. Despite a successful career, in the spring of 2000 YiFenn decided to focus solely on her family. In need of a creative outlet, YiFenn started studying oil painting under Barbara Dix in the fall of 2003. She then moved on to study the impressionistic paintings through many art books. YiFenn became very intrigued by all aspects of plein air painting. She attended multiple workshops from nationally acclaimed oil painter and plein air artist Rick McClure. For three years, YiFenn claimed her family’s dining room as her studio. She found time to paint at night and had produced a small body of work. Her paintings captured landscape, architecture, and human figures in an impressionistic manner. Just when she thought she would continue to study painting for the rest of her
life, YiFenn and her family moved to Kure Beach, NC in 2006. This move marked the turning point in her artistic pursuit. In search of an art community and studio space in Wilmington, YiFenn discovered the clay studio at Pancoe. Clay study has always been something YiFenn was hoping to explore one day. However, it was not until 2012 that she had the opportunity to study the art of ceramics under the direction of master potter Hiroshi Sueyoshi. YiFenn was immediately drawn to this tactile medium. Her introduction to clay had quickly become a new obsession. Now, YiFenn spends most of her time exploring the infinite possibilities of ceramics. Perhaps one day, clay will be in her paintings and paintings will be in her clay.
KATHY IRVINE: CERAMIC ARTIST
Southport NC My journey in art began at an early age in public school and continued to college
where I earned a BFA in jewelry nd metal design from Eastern Michigan Univ. In retirement I’ve rekindled my passion for clay and continually am challenged and inspired by this medium. I work mainly in red clay and love its rich color and the constant reminder that “it is the earth”. I hand build many of my pieces manipulating the clay to fold and crack. Often I tear and layer the clay in the rolling process trying to duplicate what the earth does naturally. The pieces are then enhanced with oxides to keep their organic quality. Recently I have started using the potter’s wheel, creating forms made from both thrown and slab elements. Always a puzzle lover, this method has offered me both artistic and technical challenges. Often the clay will dictate what form the piece will take.
