the spring thaw has arrived!!!


you know what that means???


the kilns are ready to roll again!


typically i close up the clay shop over the coldest months of winter due to, well, lack of heat...but now the thaw is here, the buds are on the trees and the clay shop is revving up again!

this week i made 4 sets of bowls, some utensil holders and some "odds and ends"...wall plaques, etc. and let me tell ya, it feels good to be in the mud again :D

jewelry making has been productive as well...lots of ceramic tile bits necklaces were made...i made some earrings as well, but didn't like how they photographed...so i'll post those later

check out the new updates:

enjoy the blossoms, all!!!!!
