Not to be missed – this weekend!
So I realize I’ve been a bit quieter than usual on the blog and twitter, main reason is I’ve been firing my poor little 3 cubic foot kiln non stop getting ready for the potters guild sale this weekend where I’m going to be selling some of my new line of functional wares. The work I haven’t shared with you yet, as i’m still a bit shy about it….It’s not my usual at all. I’ve been handbuilding – working with simple molds lately, as I haven’t been able to throw for a while now. Why you ask…well long story short, I’ve had some strange skin problem on my hands since I was pregnant with my son 2 years ago. The specialists (ie: dermatologists) are working on it, but in the meantime I can only work in the studio with gloves on, and well I’ve tried throwing with gloves on, and frankly not work the frustration – pieces are either 5 pound cups or they slump from way too much water! Any way, no drama or winny business here…
The point is I’d love to see you guys stop by the sale this weekend if you can make it! And just be gently with your critique of the new work : )
