Watershed
I am back from my wonderful weekend in Maine and visiting Watershed for salad days. It was a lovely day of clay, friends and farm. I may sound a bit giddy, but I love this place. After having done a couple of residencies and visiting for salad days, I still walk away revived and motivated and inspired. My head is swimming with new ideas.
This is the “great” salad plate sort. It’s like the “running of the brides” at Filene’s Basement…only kinder, gentler and less chiffon. Everyone is admiring and trying to narrow down Adero Willard’s beautiful plates to a top choice, especially if you only wanted one. It was hard; I ended up pulling six away from the crowd laying them on the grass to make my choice. That’s my arm attached to the brown shirt holding the plate I happily brought home. I really got two as my husband purchased another.
On the way to the studio in the old brick factory you walk by this barn, part of the organic farm surrounding the facility. If you look closely you can see chickens roosting in the window.
I am ending today with the shard pile!!! Clay is the way!

Hi Leah! I saw your lovely work at the Salad Days Invite Sale…love the softness of it! Your pics from that day are great; it was such a wonderful time. I am currently working in the studio there, and have been blogging about it everyday. Check it out at http://www.noellesprettypots.com/blog
Cheers to you!
Thank you Noelle, I love your story of time at Watershed. It brings back my fond memories. My time spent at Wateshed fed my artist side for a long while. Your pots are fantastic!!!! I love your vases and salt and pepper shakers. I will spend more time looking when its not so hot in my office. -Leah
