![]() My Two-Day Enameling Workshop students were in the studio, where I was demonstrating what copper foil and torch-fired opaque enamels would do. Because of the nature of the process, even though there's an expected continuum, there's also the unknown. In this case, the tiny piece took on a life of its own, and the result was a surprise to all of us. When it cooled from the heat, I looked at it, and said, without thinking, "The Devil's Cup!" A day or so later, the The Devil's Table at the Family Values Restaurant had begun to come to life. This seemed to be the perfect "look" for how I was feeling about the continued mass shootings and the lack of response to them, with the exception of the marches led by students who had survived the latest at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. That there was no clear response to the shootings by way of any serious debate on gun control was uppermost in my mind. The tallies on the Devil's Scorecard on the window in the restaurant continue to grow.
