i guess its been a while huh?! Well a lot has transpired since last year and i have been busy procrastinating a lot of things. we bought a heater for the studio and i had high hopes that it would work...it helped but the studio is now closed for the winter and all my glazes, clays etc will need to be reclaimed in the spring. I was again part of the Central Maine Clay Artists Holiday Shoppe

What a Beautiful day! thank you everyone who came out and enjoyed the day with us. It was good to see returning art enthusiasts and newcomers as well. As always there were a few bumps but the overall turnout was great! The new kiln had a bad day...a ix up in clays resulted in a melt down down the side of the kiln and covering the thermal coupler, elements and brick---so NOT good!But we will

Boy is it still too cold for me! I have been busy with friends to clean the scrap out of the yard and building a 12'x12' deck for my pottery stand at home. I have also been busy with the clean up of the barn and selling the wood off slowly. We have people coming in to fix up the house and weatherize it-YEAH!!! and we can play around the appletree...Paul says he hasnt done that since he was a

LeeLee and I have decided to create a garden this year and really make the outside shine. So with Grumpy, Daddy, Mama Lee and nuncle P we are going at it. Raking rocks with LeeLee was a blast- she dropped her rocks and started cheering-"go gammie, go go gammie!" it was funny as all...! next week we will be bringing her little house out to set up.with my son Michael's help I am rebuilding the

I have been doing a lot of thinking and looking at art books- George Ohr specifically and it has made me long again for meking those types of pots again. I think in the next couple of weeks this is what i will do...slowly though since the dr.'s have told me not to use my wrist until they figure out what is up with it. I also found a piece of board with a fish carved into it and am thinking it

just thought i'd come in and write a few words about life and how sometimes it just seems to get you down. There are so many things going on in the world right now that one wonders why it just keeps going and then you see a child smile and you know the answer. But it doesn't always allow you to actually feel the hope that you know is there, the rainbow that always follows the storm or the heat

I believe in Kiln Gods.It is the last thing I do before I light the Kiln.Molding a form with clay, entrusting it to protect the work within.It is like giving yourself up to the universe.The Kiln God signifies that I am open to the possible.Already I have done everything to the extent of my knowledge in the pursuit of a vision.Aware of the unexpected, making room for the possibleDivine

this is a demo i did this past weekend at winthrop flea market. i was asked to do some of my rose work again for a valentine's day sale so i figured it was a good time to bring them back into production. i use a basic bread dough flower making technique that i learned many years ago when i was baking specialty cakes. i though one day- why not try it out in clay and they are beautiful!

I cant wait to see how the pieces come out-its like Christmas every time, each piece is amazing-or not but unique in its own way, and all is a life lesson on how to manuever around the good and the bad!

...and it feels more like Monday. Made a dozen small coffee mug pendants because I was wearing mine at the flea market and several people made comments about it. I saw a pair of earrings that were mugs and really liked them so I decided that since I had made the little coffee mug I could actually turn it into a pendant. It works pretty well.

This is my 2 yr old granddaughter Leigh Anne-LeeLee to me. She does not like to get dirty but when she came over to gammies house and I asked if she'd like to play with the clay at first she said "nooooo!" So I gave it to my daughter in law who dropped it.

I have often felt that I was born to live in the water. It doesnt matter whether or not it is the ocean or fresh water water is where i feel most at home. many pieces of my art work reflect this connection the water.
