I kind of wish I could keep all of these. They look so lovely propped up around my studio gallery!

They're ready for the Cambria Art & Wine Festival this weekend! I'll be open from 10 to 6 on Saturday and Sunday.

IF YOU CAN'T MAKE IT:
Several people have asked me to see images of the work for a possible purchase before the busy weekend. I've included multiple views of each piece. If you can't make it to the event and are interested in purchasing a piece, let me know. I so appreciate my out-of-town collectors and want to encourage your interest!

The trays are each $125. The serving dish is $140. Prices are plus tax and shipping, if applicable. You can email me here.

Also see other posts today with new tea bowls, lidded boxes and mugs. Thanks!

Look what happened when I had an aching left hand... I couldn't throw pots on the wheel and started making lidded boxes. And, even though the hand is now healed up, I'm still on the boxes. Used to make boxes years ago, and now my interest is revived. The format gives so much surface and interesting angles to work out the etched designs.

These are in the gallery, ready for the Cambria Art & Wine Festival this weekend! I'll be open from 10 to 6 on Saturday and Sunday.

Looks who's ready to fly away to a new home!

New pieces in the "Woodcut Series" will be in the gallery this coming Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 28 and 29. I'll be posting images of the new work all week, leading up to this weekend.

I'm out of town this week and will be returning just in time for the Cambria Art & Wine Festival. It starts on Friday, but I may not make it back until Saturday. Check out all the details on the event and join the fun!

Learning from Diana Fayt online!


I've joined Diana Fayt's upcoming online course, The Clayer. I'm so excited about learning new techniques and applying them in my own studio over the course of six weeks.

Diana will be teaching some of her surface techniques and I'm eager to follow her along. Though she won't be delving into her signature etching process, there will be plenty to absorb.

I've really enjoyed the intensive hands-on workshops I've attended in the past, and am expecting to gain even more from this experience because:

  • I'll be working in my own studio and can try things out within my own studio practice.
  • I'll be building on the experiences over the 6-week course, absorbing the "lessons" gradually and having time to practice on my own work.
  • I'll be part of a group of students who will be connected online during the course, sharing our progress. That sounds like fun!
  • I won't have to leave my studio to go to a workshop destination and incur the cost of travel, lodging, etc. (That budget is already committed to NCECA in March! Woot!)

Check it out, and join us!
