A lots Been Going On

The Kiln opening was awesome, I had a incredible firing. The pots came out amazing I think it was one of my best firings ever! Sales were great and A huge turn out too! Thanks to all that came out. But you know, I still have some great pots left! I have been working on taking some images and getting things listed on line, but it has taken longer than I thought. I've also been busy with special orders and getting ready for the Celebration of Seagrove Potters too. Hopefully I'll get this completed next week.

I other news I made the cove of this little magazine Carolina Country, Pretty cool don't you think?


I'm also going to be featured I A new International Magazine Ceramics Now It's published in Romania. They also in invited me to be in an International Exhibition that they are organizing in Romania. I haven't got the details yet But I'm looking forward to it!


Thats all for now Off to the studio, lots to do!

Around the studio and on the road

Like I said It's been busy around the studio too, getting ready for lots of events coming up!

First up, I have some pots at Frank in Chapel Hill N.C. The show is called "Dining with frank" I have a Place setting a teapot and a square serving tray in the show. The opening reception is Friday September 9th 6-9pm there is a great line up of potters in the show along with some furniture makers. Im happy to be included in the show and look forward to going to see it. If your in the area be sure to make it on over there!

Up next after that Im heading down to The University of South Carolina in Columbia S.C. I was invited to present a workshop on september 12th and 13th. I've been looking forward to this! I love giving workshops they are so much fun for me. I enjoy sharing information and the dialog between the students is so enjoyable. Sometimes I come away learning a little something about myself and my work through all the questions and observations from the students. It starts me thinking outside the box and thats a good thing. I'll post something on the blog after I get back from the workshop.

Then its on to the Fall Kiln Opening this year it's October 15th and 16th so mark your calendars! Im working on new pots and tiles for the salt glazing kiln. Look for hand painted pots and tiles and some glazed pots as well. I'll be posting more about this as the date approaches with a sneak peek of whats going it the kiln!
so check back soon...

Well I've rambled on long enough,
