... are happening around here!  We're thinking about volume, proportions, where to go next.  18 chicks just landed in the studio, hanging out until they grow big enough to go outside.  I'm enjoying the company.

The holidays came and went and how wonderful they were!  The Fall was a season of rushed making and now it's the quiet of winter.  I've been happily hibernating, taking time to recharge and generate ideas.  Rather than wedging clay, I've been kneading dough for countless loaves of bread and taking the time to read and sketch.   It is time to move back into the studio, I can feel it.  The clay has been calling and I'm pleased to say I'm in a new space outside of Little Washington.  I'm very much looking forward to being there and creating in the coming year.

Additionally, this month brings the start of my partnership with Coterie in Sperryville.  A larger selection of my work will be available there all the time and, of course, I'll be there on Sundays as well.  Stop by and say hi.  I'm excited to step up to becoming a partner as it's such a lovely business-- so many good things from good people, mainly from within the county or 100 miles.  I hope that if you make it, you will enjoy it as much as I do.  Cheers to new beginnings and new work!

From Sperryville:  From 211 West, make a left onto 522 South (just past the Schoolhouse complex).  Take a left onto 522 South at the stop sign.  Take the first right onto 231 South.  Juba Mountain Lane is the third left, approximately three miles from the turn.  Follow the signs to the studio from there.

Winter sky espresso cup with friends.  From the salt firing last week.

Work is being made, kilns are being loaded and fired, the studio is being cleaned.  The Tour is close by!  And so are two other holiday shows!  It feels good to be so productive.  This week's firing was a very full load with many drinking vessels.  I'm looking forward to seeing the results.

You never know where I will pop up...

...just landed in Coterie!  Come visit them and maybe even give them a new home.  I'll be there on Sundays if you want to visit me at the same time.
