The Windows are In and I'm Back to Work...

Okay, I got the windows back into my studio!  Gina and I painted around the windows from the inside (we have not finished from the outside).  It is my hope that heat will stay in this year rather than leaking through the broken window and old frame that was in pIace prior to the new windows. 

The first three boxes are in Outi's Volvo and are headed to New York City for the Mugi Opening on Friday, October 15 from 6 pm to 9 pm.  We will be packing boxes and having them picked up on Sunday evenings for the next couple of weekends.  Outi is great and stops by prior to returning to NYC to transport my pieces to her gallery and studio.  Thank you, Outi!  You are awesome!  It is our hope to have about 125 pieces at the opening on Friday, October 15th!  I hope to see you there!

I have started throwing more pieces...wine goblets.  Let's celebrate!

I hope you have a nice week.

California Sink...

This sink was made for a customer in California and will be shipped out early next week.  The glaze is a shino with a wax pattern and woo blue over it.  The lip has satin black on it.  Can you see the fish overflow?

Have a great day!

Studio Repair Time...

So, I have had a broken window on the backside of my studio.  We finally got brave enough to replace it!  Last weekend, we took the windows off and replaced the framing around the window.  We are now waiting for the glass to be cut (they told us 5 days...we need to wait another 5 days...let's hope the glass will be here next weekend).  In the meantime, we have plastic over the window.

As you can see from the photos...Gina did some cleaning on the backside of the building for me.  There were vines and the dirt was uneven.  We can walk back there without a problem now.  Thanks, Gina!

Happy Saturday!

Busy Working Away...

The buckets above are my new creation which I have designed all aspects, including the handles.  Besides the buckets, I have created oil servers with handles (see blog) and now I have added some baskets with handles.  This has been fun for me!

I have started throwing the next kiln load.  Cups! Cups! and more Cups!  Mia (our husky) was trying to help trim them.  Plus, I have more items drying - plates, large vases, and covered jars. 

I hope you are enjoying your weekend!

The Kiln is Out and Everything Looks Beautiful...

We just unloaded the kiln this morning. WOW!!  All the pieces came out looking fabulous. I have five new pieces that will need metal handles which should be fun to design and add to the pieces.  This picture with the door down and all the pots in the kiln. 

For anyone who has tried calling me in the past week...my phone has not been working!  We finally called Comcast and have it resolved.  So, please give me a call back.

Have a great Saturday!  Enjoy the nice weather (finally).
