The Delicious Dish

I am really missing my studio this month. I am going from the joy of motherhood to a huge studio itch. I still have yet to find the way to balance it without some form of childcare and that is currently not an option. It must be the weather as my studio is best in the warm sunny months when I can open the door to the yard. It has been a year to date of my pottery hiatus. I have not been totally without clay this spring I was invited to be part of a show called Artisans of the Valley, it took place at a local gallery and it was about the process of how the art is made. I made two books depicting my process as well as my first pottery video. I will post it someday, but now that it is not in a gallery it needs some tunes.

I also took part in the annual spring sale at Mudflat Studio and made some new work for it. I do know that when I get back into the studio my work is going to change; I was not feeling as inspired. I am also not the same person, nor do I have the same amount of time to dedicate to glazing the way I have in the past. Where I am going I am not certain, which is probably part of the itch, the uncertainty is like when you peek in the kiln not knowing what to expect, but always hoping for something juicy! The photos are of the pots I made for the sale and I am calling them doodle pots as the images are coming right from my sketch book. It seems appropriate as it has been a spring of drawing and illustrations.
