Life has been so busy lately that I have not been keeping up with posts to this website. I had a great time demonstrating throwing at City Clay in Charlottesville in July. Taught a workshop here in early August and then another at Castroville Pottery in Texas. There is still one workshop to go in my studio here next weekend (August 31 – September 2) and then an in-house demonstration at Piedmont Virginia Community College later in September. I’ve really been enjoying the workshops! Great students sharing good creative energy. We’ve just begun the third (and final) 2012 session of regular weekly classes here. They will run through the end of October.
Doing so much teaching has left me with less time to make my own pots. So instead of my usual multiple shows, I am only taking part in two this fall:
First, Penny Sipple will join me again this year during the 18th Annual Artisans Studio Tour. Some of my students will be here then too, demonstrating throwing and hand-building, and Basic Necessities will provide some of the refreshments.
Second, I will be a Guest Artist during the 16 Hands Studio Tour in Floyd County, VA. Rick Hensley and Donna Polsena have invited me to join them in their studio over Thanksgiving Weekend, November 23-25.
And finally, my expanded Studio Showroom will be open DAILY during November and December for holiday shoppers.
Busy times!
