Wesleyan Potters Holiday Sale

We picked out the pieces for the Wesleyan Potters Holiday Sale in Middletown, Connecticut.

The Gala Celebration will be Friday, November 23rd from 10 am until 9 pm, consisting of mid-morning champagne and an evening reception at 6 pm.

Glazing Days...

I have been glazing my pieces for the next kiln. I need this shelving unit full plus other pieces to fill the kiln. It is my hope that the kiln will be loaded this week.

Enjoy a picture of the flowers outside my studio door.

Saki Set

While in California we had saki one evening in which everyone encouraged me to make something like this....

Happy Friday!

Sake Server and Cups

Okay, I got some inspiration while I was on our family vacation in California.  We had dinner in a Japanese restaurant in Pal Alto.  This restaurant was one of Steve Jobs favorites.  We had sake and I was encouraged by loved ones to make both the container that the sake was served in and the cups in which we enjoyed the sake from.  Here is my first attempt at this...

I hope you are staying cool in this very hot weather.

The two pieces separated - sake goes in the piece on the left and hot water goes in the piece on the right.

Back to Work!

I've been on a family vacation in the wine country of California. It is time to get back to work...

I ran a bisque yesterday and Gina unloaded the pieces this morning for me. Now they need some sanding and glazing.

Happy Summer!
