With over 2,000 artists and students going through the seminars and classes offered at Hone Studio, it is no wonder that the place cranks out so many talented individuals and is sought the world over by woodcarving artists, the most recent of which have-traveled from Colorado, Florida and even Europe and South America. On first glance, the work within the studio astounds. But upon further inspection the sheer detail of the work can be noticed. There are not crude lines, but rather intricate strokes carved intentionally to display a larger feeling of wholeness and completion. Students and instructors alike are quick to acknowledge that all art has central themes of movement, flow, composition and counterparts. It is only the medium that changes. They appreciate drawing, painting, clay sculpting, work carving and bronze foundry work, as well as writing. Hone Studio will be offering classes on panel finishing, gourd carving, gunstock carving and many others as the weeks come.

The Utahns were up 10-4 and had the winning run in position, but due to an Exfuze mental lapse on a passed ball, followed by a double-play, the Rattlers managed to stay alive. In the top of the seventh, the Arizona squad brought the score within three. With two out and two on base an Arizona batter hit a grounder right back to Hone. "The last ground out came to me," he said. "I just ran towards first and tossed it lightly and that was the game." Hone was named tournament MVP after pitching 38 innings for Exfuze and recording two shutous. He said the unexpected honor capped off a perfect tournament. "After all the hard work, it all paid off. National champions and the MVP — what more could you ask for?" he said. Hone is quick to give credit to the rest of his team, however. He said they made his job easy. "When I had the team I had behind me with hitting and defense, I felt as comfortable as a pitcher can feel. ... When you pitch relaxed and comfortable with such a good team, you get a lot more done ... You can pitch longer. It doesn't take so much out of you," he said. Although fast pitch Softball wasn't the path Hone had planned on, the unforeseen detour has been the ride of a lifetime. "I am beyond happy with the direction my life went," he said. In addition to a love for softball, Hone has also discovered a love for coaching. He is currently the pitching coach working under Don Andrews at SFHS, and he's gone back to school to get a teaching degree in biology, with plans to make high school teaching and coaching a full-time gig. "I realized I love being around youth and that's where I'm supposed to be,*' he said. Just don't make fun of those pitchers. |
