It’s been an action packed August so far. After 2 weeks making pots at Arrowmont (instead of painting) – i decided to re install a couple shelves at my studio at the Pendleton Art Center. If you have been looking for some pottery, I’ll have some new ones on the 25th at Final Friday.

If you’d like a better look at my mini test firing of the cups I made at Mark Errol’s workshop-using his technique. swipe or click the arrows in the slideshow below

Thanks again Mark for all the new surface design techniques! Was happy to see that your clear looks great on the red clay body I’m currently using.

Greetings from Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts!

I just wrapped up an amazing workshop learning from two of my pottery heroes (Mark Errol and Kathy King).

It has been a dream come true meeting them and seeing Mark and Kathy’s work in real life. –sorry, photos on the internet just aren’t the same.

I have been on a pottery break, and can’t tell you how good it felt to have my hands back in clay for 5+ whole days. i ended up making 34 pots (that’s a lot in comparison to my normal speed)

Every workshop I have taken at Arrowmont has been an incredible experience. It’s a perfect environment to push my creativity to places I could never reach by myself. The bears of Arrowmont make it a magical and special place.

If you are in the Knoxville area, Mark and Kathy have a group exhibit, “Zero Lucks To Give” on display at the Arrowmont Gallery in Knoxville for the month of August. I was really thrilled to see their work in person and add these two cups to my collection!

My heart is bursting, i’m so grateful to those who have made this experience possible for me!!! Thank you! Thank you! thank you! Stay tuned, i’ll have more to share soon.

i trimmed cups LIVE on the ‘other’ site. I like trimming because it’s when a cup takes its shape, here’s a sped up version for anyone interested 

oh my gosh! WE MADE A LOT OF POTTERY THIS YEAR!

I think a few got away without getting their picture taken, but here’s most of 2022 squeezed into less than 2 minutes.

Thank you ALL for your support and friendship +making them a part of your home. Especially *you*know*who*you*are -who is responsible more than anyone for this wonderful journey into ceramics.

Watching the year flash by, it was interesting to see the quick flash of time, that was summer at Arrowmont–and then the following months — to see the evolution of a new clay, and new surface design.

Thanks always for making this possible! Yes, the artist is part of the creation of ART–but ART also needs patrons–i believe these pots are OUR team effort!! Thank you all so much!

Looking forward to a wonderful new year!!! Happy New year to you all!!

Well, shoot!!!

After a flock of early birds flew through my studio yesterday, I don’t have nearly as many new pots to choose from. But there are some good ones still on my shelf (including the one i am tempted to keep for myself). I’m very grateful for all the support of my work–this ‘problem’ is every artist’s dream.

Before you make a special trip to our event at the Pendleton Art Center Cincinnati, Here’s a photo of my pottery shelf with it’s current inventory. If you see something you really want, make sure to come to my studio #400 on the 4th floor first. The event starts at 5pm and lasts until 9pm.

Hope to see you tonight!
