Hello, Happy and Warm Summer Days Ahead…
This
coming weekend on May 26 and 27, Ron Meyers, Judith Duff, and Micheal Kline will join us with their fabulous pottery here at Bulldog Pottery for the 4th annual “Cousins in Clay”
May 26 – Saturday 10:00-5:00
May 27 – Sunday 10:00-4:00
For
this year we have made a slight change on where we will display all of the pottery. We are planning to have the Cousins in Clay event at our house instead of tents outside of our shop. There seems to be a chance of showers on the days we would be setting up the tents, and we thought it best to focus on getting one location ready for the event. For those of you who are coming to “Cousins,” if you don’t need to park close please park up at the garden and walk down via the gravel driveway. That way it will leave the parking spaces closer to the house for those that are less nimble. To get to our house by car just follow the gravel driveway pass the yellow cottage and shop and around the garden to the white house at the end of the gravel driveway …. we will be set-up in the breeze way. — Look for the flags.
On
Saturday starting shortly before noon Bruce’s brother in-law, Chronis Pou Vasilou, from Greensboro will be playing his Bouzouki for an afternoon of Greek music. And there will be a light buffet throughout Saturday for as long as the food lasts.
Michael Kline will present a brush work demonstration on Saturday at 2:00 and Sunday at 1:30.
On
Sunday there will be a potters potluck at noon. All are welcome. Please join us to celebrate and meet our special guest “cousins” potters, Ron and Judith.
Come on out, it will be comfortable Rain or Shine.
All Our Best,
Bruce, Samantha, Ed, and Gloria (and Maxwell though he may not be available for most of the day, but not by his choice)
P.S. As always check out our pottery blog to see what we are up to at “Around and About with Bulldog Pottery”. And for more details about the this special event visit the “Cousins in Clay” website

Subtle body language and unconscious gestures form the basis of Lee’s
work. Inspired by childhood experiences in South Korea, the ideas for
her sculptures come from observations of gymnastics and schoolyard
games. The physical tension of her figures references the psychological
tension of human relationships, and her humor broaches serious emotional
content.
Yeon Joo Lee was born and raised in Seoul, South Korea
where she earned her BFA in painting from Sung Shin Women’s University.
She came to the U.S. to seek a new life in a different environment. The
freedom of her new life is a creative force for her ceramic work. For
the past 4 years, she has lived in Oakland, California while earning her
second BFA degree from California College of the Arts in Ceramics.
Currently Lee is an intern with Arthur Gonzalez, Nathan Lynch and John
Toki. She will be exhibiting her new work in a solo show at Red Star
Studios, on June 1, 2012. Also she will be exhibiting work in Korean
international Art Fair (KIAF) on September 22, 2012.
May 25 – 27th, Fanshawe College, London, Ontario
