Looking for the Silver Lining

Found it... 

Sometimes we gotta chase the blues away with the work at hand.

Time to Move Along

Along with the winter rain comes my shift in mood. For 5 years it coincides with the drip, drip, drip of the studio roof and the slow flooding of the kiln room.

 

Old news...

This alone generally turns my mood glum as I'm forced to abandon my sanctuary, but this week my landlord informed me that she wants to renovate the house and needs us out. So it's time to pack up the cozy little studio and make a new go of it. I'm apprehensive to say the least, but in a very small, private way, I'm more than just a bit thrilled!

I have a new evil plan...

It's definitely not helpful to have your mother set the market value of your work...

Beggars Bowls

Getting beggars bowls made for this year's TideWater Souper Supper.

These are small bowls that have been thrown slightly thick for easy handling when full. 

This year, the event is giving me an opportunity to finally have a go at Jessica's hand cut footrings, and I love the results! It really helps contribute to the feeling of "swagger" I've been moving towards over the past few months.

Night Platter

Got a chance Saturday to shoot an over the shoulder look at an "up and coming" local talent.

Jessica Fong makes play look easy...

It's so much fun to have studio mates again!

Watch... dream... drool...



I'm looking for a link to Riusuke's website, no luck so far. Little help?
