Man, I've been worker bee. I've been exploring (my favourite thing).
UPCOMING EVENTS:
I'll be selling seconds at Fourth & Clay's Seconds Sale, this Saturday, May 5. I feel the need for a margarita coming on....on the rocks.....sea salt !
I am working furiously to finish new work for the Bay Area Maker Faire on May 19 & 20.
I also just got in to Mill Valley Fall Arts Festival, Sept 15 & 16.
I do remember saying my goal for this year was to do a show every two months... careful what you wish for. It's looking like that is exactly what's happening through the end of the year, with a couple double ups here and there. I am still soaking in the luxury of full time studio work. I hope that is a trend that continues.
So, with new work, there are also some things on the horizon...more on that in future.
Oh, and one more thing: I'm doing the social media work for the ACGA on Facebook and twitter. Please click on the link and "like" the ACGA page. With the help of the ACGA members and associate members, we are going to start revving up for the ACGA Palo Alto Clay and Glass Festival in July, but apart from that, we would like some more likers!
Oh my god, those whale bowls!!!! Love them... Also, I'm reading The Sea-Wolf by Jack London and it makes me think of you soooooo much.
ReplyDeleteHa! I'm re-reading Moby Dick,,,,of course. I think it courses through my veins. I have read the Sea-Wolf - love it. I really wanted to stamp in those bowls, "you calling me Ismael?" or "Who you calling Ismael"...well, one spends so much time alone in the studio - one must entertain one somehow ;-))))
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your shows!! I'm not a sea person myself, but I very much like your work though! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteCr-mics I am a surfer/paddleboarder and the sea is my partner in many ways. thanks for the good words. I also love flowers and pattern too - hence the dogwood, peony drawings. thanks for coming by and leaving a comment.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love them all! Absolutely love the pitchers and the tumblers and all the designs! Honestly it makes me want to live near the ocean!
ReplyDeleteThose top two pitchers are great. Love the way you have handled the curvilinear connection of the spout to the body. The deco is really nice too.
ReplyDeletethanks Ben! I'm happy with them and having fun making them. Love the spouts and actually, I really like making and putting handles on. All my potter friends laugh at me when I say that, but it's true ;-))
ReplyDeletegorgeous!! will any of the whale bowls be available for sale online?
