Thank you, pottery lovers!

Piece from "Indigenous and Endangered" series featuring plants from California's central coast.

One of the coolest things about having an open studio/gallery is getting to visit with people who stop in to shop or just look around. I've met so many interesting people in the last year.

In hopes of maintaining the connection, I've been inviting folks to visit my blog and offering a few incentives. So, if you're new here to the blog, I hope you'll drop me a line. And please stop back in to see what's new in the studio!

Thank you again for your appreciation of craft hand-made in America and your support of this California artist in particular!

Tea Party

Tea party for wee ones. The little tea pot is only about 5 inches tall and the cups are itsy.

Gotta love her

OK, I kind of vowed to myself that I wouldn't make you all look at pictures of kids and dogs and such. But jeez. You gotta make an exception for THIS dog. A truly exceptional being.

She's kind, funny, intelligent and just about begs to help old ladies across the street.

Plus she's fluffy and cuddly, and laughs at my jokes.

Adding new work to gallery space

Line-etched pieces from the "Endangered" Series... Am adding some of the first pieces from the new series to the gallery space at the studio. Hope to get feedback from visitors and customers as I further develop this line. I'll be holding back my favorite pieces from each firing and do a show at the end of the summer, with part of the proceeds going toward a non-profit here dedicated to preserving open space and native plants.

In the meantime, we're getting ready for a busy Fourth of July weekend! Big doings at the park in Cambria and activities up and down the coast to attract tourists and keep the locals happy.

Be safe and sane everybody!
