Our first puzzle competition was a lot of fun! There were three teams. Each team had the same 500-piece puzzle to put together. The winning team was Josephine Richards, Michelle Harriman, Erin Fogg, and Peter Beckford. They completed the puzzle in 1 hour 18 minutes. Congratulations to them!

Joseph Barberio will be displaying his unique clay forms at the library during September and October. His approach ensures the singularity of each piece, since he hand builds either by coiling or forms a piece from hand rolled slabs. All his work is bisque fired in the normal fashion, then goes through a special, second firing with sawdust in small, metal barrels.
.
While he begins each piece with a specific design in mind, Joseph often lets the clay “talk” to him during the slow shaping process. His aim is sometimes sculptural rather than functional thus a few of his pieces are closed, mid-sized forms. None are considered food-safe, though his vase-like forms are treated on the interior to allow them to hold water. Although his pieces are often mistaken for raku because of their random surface patterning, Joseph’s vessels differ sharply in that they are totally unglazed. Read more about his working methods posted at the library.
.
Joseph lives and has a studio in Hostile Valley in Liberty. His ceramics are for sale, and he is generously donating 50% of his sales to the library.

We will be reading The Storm Before the Calm: America’s Discord, the Crisis of the 2020s, and the Triumph Beyond by George Friedman. American history must be viewed in cycles—particularly, an eighty-year “institutional cycle” that has defined us (there are three such examples—the Revolutionary War/founding, the Civil War, and World War II), and a fifty-year “socio-economic cycle” that has seen the formation of the industrial classes, baby boomers, and the middle classes. These two major cycles are both converging on the late 2020s—a time in which many of these foundations will change. The United States will have to endure upheaval and possible conflict, but also, ultimately, increased strength, stability, and power in the world.
