SUMMER SHOWS

The New Castle Arts & Crafts Fair in New Hampshire last Saturday was wonderful. What a beautiful water front community! This coming Saturday I'll be on the green in Kennebunkport, ME for the School Around Us Annual Summer Show and then the next weekend I'll be in Wells, ME for a 2 day show. phew! After that I have about a month to regroup before the next shows begin.

OK .....I am her Mom......but still some of the best photographs of my work were taken by her. Kristen just received her BFA earlier this month from LIU CW Post and will be pursuing her masters degree in the fall.
Check it out - I think her work is awesome! Her new blog is "perspective" - I think you'll enjoy it!

BEATRICE WOOD - I think she was amazing!!!!

Southen Maine Clay Guild at Biddeford Art Walk

Southern Maine Clay Guild will be having a booth at the Art Walk at the North Dam Mill in Biddeford this Friday - April 30th. I've been a part of the guild since it's inception in 2005 - its a wonderful group of supportive & creatively talented individuals. Stop by & say hi - hope to see you there!

Time to get glazing

One more bisque load and then it will be time to get glazing. I plan on mixing up a couple of new glazes first - an oribe and a tomato red. I would love to have a recipe for a cone 9/10 matte yellow - does anybody have a good recipe they'd be willing to share?

I'm So Glad It's Spring

Even though it's raining (pouring actually), it is so nice to have spring finally here. It smell like spring....really earthy....and the crocus are blooming. This is my favorite time of year. Next to the kitchen window the Tamarac Pine tree's new needles are beginning to show giving the tree a very graceful soft green ferny quality. I love that tree!
But now it's time to put my rain slicker back on and get back to the studio. I have a bunch of slab plates I'm working on at the moment and I'm anxious to play with their surfaces once they're bisqued and ready to glaze.
