a site 2 see friday: Field Guide for Ceramic Artisans

“The “Field Guide for Ceramic Artisans” is a website of information and resources developed to help and support students when they are finishing school.”

Thanks to Julia Galloway you can now find out all the dirt on pre graduation, post graduation, studio, kilns, exhibitions, documentation references, shipping work, and interviews. I wish this had been around when i graduated, heck I can still make use of it now!

Thanks Julia Galloway – we love you!

been busy lately

My apologies if emails have gone without reply, if posts have been late in coming, or I’ve dropped the ball lately here on the blog. I have good reason as we are finally moving to our new home this weekend. It’s an understatement to say that it’s been a hectic few months, but soon all will quiet down again. I thank you for your patience and understanding at times when my life gets in the way : )

If you look really closely you’ll see my kiln amongst the mess of my packed up studio. Everything is packed and ready to go, but I just had to get one last firing in. Silly artists, we never sleep!
