They followed me over from the old studio in Bakersfield. Just can't shake 'em!
It's interesting to see how people respond to the Beastie Boys. They either really like them or just don't get it. These critters are really fun to make and, in fact, kind of create themselves.
All of them start on the wheel and, shortly after, I start altering — cutting, darting, poking... Soon one of these guys emerges! I've done a few with underglazes and a covering glossy clear, but don't like them as much as the matte surface that you see on most of these. All of them have glazed interiors.

I have always LOVED your beastie boys and I'm so glad they are beginning to roar. I am waiting for the beastie inside of me to step forward and show himself / herself? ... Someday! Maybe real soon!
What a cute studio, Patty. I can't wait to see it and your work, especially the cat pottery. I think those beastie boys are cute!
