window 2

a warmer window, a later sleep...

back

heading back  from where it came...

alluvial plains?

alluvial plains
or the bottom of the wood stove pan
all the same...

windows

condensation on my bedroom window in the morning...
these images change each day
until, of course, the freeze comes...
then it is time to consider moving in off the sun porch...

Cups

my cups runneth over...
onward to the kiln of cups
why did the cup cross the road?
how many cups does it take
to have a cup?
is that a cup in your pocket or are you happy to see me?
knock, knock... anyone left in there????

Old Church

to all pottery lovers far and wide...
please consider coming out to support this show and these great potters
coming from all around the country ...
for a short weekend this "old church"
becomes a makeshift Temple to pottery, it's makers
and all who are supportive of the endeavor...
it is a time, rich with visual treasures, lively conversation and the sharing of knowledge and magic...
your attendance will be supporting the art school housed within
and the fine work it does throughout the year offering classes and events,
as it provides testimony on behalf of the arts,
in a multitude of ways, to it's surrounding community...
a worthy enterprise on all levels
give it a try... you'll leave with a sparkle in your eye and a warm smile in your heart...
and just maybe... that rich, magical sense of wonder we all wish to carry within...

kiln of cups...

some of the preglaze washed cups
drying near the kitchen wood stove
the kitchen island is also full
why you might ask...
the studio tables are full too...
bowls, vases and etc...
the kiln of small pieces...
it begins...

new surfaces from older pots

seems I have found a way forward without the wood kiln
with a look back at some old pots found in the barn...
one never knows where the necessary info will come from
yet it inevitably comes
from a new source or an older one,  matters little
only that a way forward emerges is the point of things...
magic wears many coats and comes in the most surprising ways...
I remain grateful it comes....
