I’m gonna try not to get all sentimental here but I really want to say how much this community means to me and how honored I am to play even a small role contributing to the success of artists in the ceramic field. Throughout the year I get messages that literally bring me to tears (happy tears!) from some of you and I thank you for that.
Musing about mud is headed into its 13th year 😲😲😲 and really it’s thanks to you all that it’s still up and running. There may be some changes a foot this year as I am taking on a huge curatorial project but I promise you 13 won’t be an unlucky number for musing. So please keep sending in content, help me out by sharing content you love from the blog and above all else just keep being awesome.
Much love to all of you, but especially to @richardnickel cuz he designed me this awesome logo for musing. And yes it will be in the t-shirt shop very soon 😉
