Glaze Party

September 21st, 2008 | Category: Uncategorized

I am busy once again getting ready for a show, next weekend at Peter’s Valley. I am looking forward to talking shop with other artists. I have been on break from doing craft fairs for several months. I have had a spring and summer of multiple non clay jobs taking over all my time. But things will get back to more clay come mid October.

The time away from the studio has me now frantically potting, but has me motivated to have more fun in the studio. Why can’t everyday be a clay party? I say that because I am still trying to find a way to combine my drawing with my pots. I don’t know why I feel the self imposed pressure when it only took me 8 years to combine clay with painting. Am I asking too much while trying to keep a cohesive body of work?

 

The photos tell the story of how I glaze.

 

 

 

So if you don’t hear from me, it’s only because I am having a GLAZE PARTY (this is a bad Black Flag reference to T.V. party) I seem to turn projects with lots of repetition in to this song.

Summer is almost over

Autumn is coming; I felt it today strongly for two reasons. Number one was I had to wear my fleece this morning. Number two is the pumpkin spice soy latte is back at a huge coffee chain I frequent and want to hate. Honestly I would rather go to a local company for my favorite fall beverage.  I love how crisp the air feels and the smell of apples, smoke coming from the chimney, and roasting squash and cinnamon in pies. It makes me feel so alive to breath it all in.  My house smells of apples today as I have the first of my local apple share from being part of the CSA.

Most people know I am a coffee drinker and loud and proud of it. But as the weather changes I turn to tea. It’s so comforting and warm to hold a cup in my hand while watching the leaves fall. Please remind me of this love when I whine of how cold my studio is in January.

 

 

 I am currently in the studio bisque firing and glazing. As I am getting ready for the Peter’s Valley Craft Show coming up the weekend of 9/27 and 28. If you are in the Delaware Gap area that weekend stop by and say Hi. If my firing goes well you may see some of my new work.
