Detail of enameled vessel by Judy Stone.
Judy Stone, Head of the Enameling Department, oozes patience, dedication, and wisdom. Having taught at The Crucible since the organization’s inception, she’s spent those years building core curriculum, creating innovative pieces, and establishing her reputation internationally. Now, she’s proving that slow and steady wins the race: in addition to showing her works at exhibitions worldwide, she’s also created a cutting-edge course for those lucky enough to enroll.
In this interview, she sits down with Sarah Dabby to discuss her newfound enameling fame and the one-of-a-kind enameling opportunities she’s creating at The Crucible and beyond.

Welded sculpture by Adrian Rodriguez
Adrian Rodriguez has been a lifelong artist, but it was only after discovering The Crucible with the help of his high school teacher, did he start realizing his full potential as an industrial artist. In this interview with writer, Sarah Dabby, Adrian takes us on his artistic journey and offers pithy advice for getting ready for the 8th Annual Fire & Light: Soirée and Art Auction -- "Bring some money! And dress nicely." Well said, Adrian! Though we would also add -- expect the spectacular!

 Orinda Intermediate School students in The Crucible's smithy.
At The Crucible, educators like Bobby Glasser have a special place in our hearts. A sixth grade Language Arts and Social Studies (Ancient Civilizations) teacher at Orinda Intermediate School, Bobby joined The Crucible community in 2006, when he attended the Seven Deadly Sins show. From there, he was hooked, taking classes, volunteering, interning, and becoming a full-fledged member of the community.

The Crucible is taking steps to define our presence in West Oakland. If you've come in for a class or whizzed by on BART in recent weeks, you've surely noticed our brand new self-identifying letters at the top of our warehouse. Now for the real question: When, not if, to add fire to the letters? But that's not all!
