i started making this floral edged plate and almost threw in in the reclaim bin.
i am glad i didn't! this is one of my favorite things to have come out of the kiln.

just in time for christmas!
the prickly pear is native to north carolina.
i find it reoccurring in my work, largely because
this succulent will thrive in just about any conditions!
go, little cactus, go!
(or should i say grow….hehehe)

new mugs
i have been working on some new ideas for mug forms. these are some from my first batch of "sketches". i am pretty excited to see how these turn out once they're fired!
sparkle
goblets that jingle!
these goblets are inspired by two things:
1) i believe that because of surprises, life stays exciting
2) i will never fall out of love with the notion of magic
it came to me as an inspiration after attending a workshop given by julie wiggins at HCC. she made these sweet little covered jars that, essentially, had a lid that jingled when you lifted it! oh my goodness! the joy and surprise of lifting that lid! in a word, it was magical.
so, considering i am all about sparkly-happy-lovely-surprises, i knew i HAD to find a way to incorporate "jingle-y things" into something that i make! the most obvious way for them to compliment my work, was to incorporate them into my goblets. standing only about five inches tall, i make them smaller than the usual goblets. the "bells" are in the stem.
you can find them at asheville ceramics gallery in the phil mechanic studios.

HCC love!
In case you didn't know, my formal education in clay was through the Profession Crafts program at Haywood Community College in Clyde, North Carolina. This totally awesome two year program combines intensive studio hours with design, business and marketing classes. In making art a career, it is truly all encompassing, something my university degree was greatly lacking. i am a huge fan of the hcc craft program! check out their website here:
around the time i was leaving the program, the deteriorating state of the building was becoming very evident. the school and the community rallied for a new building. now, a tlast, the building is complete!
check out the article in the smoky mountain news here:
Congratulations HCC!

crazy. etsy. spring. love.
hello dear friends, i have missed you!
here's the brief over view of the recent happenings:
moving to a new (old) town is crazy.
moving into a new(awesome) studio is hectic.
moving into what i call a "well loved but disasterous and never ending" (aren't they all?) remodel is insane...
but miraculously, i have managed to keep my cool and am finally finding time to get all this craziness managed and focused. not a moment too soon - pshew!
i've got some new shows lined up for the coming season and hope to hear more good stuff soon. i will keep you updated on that as it happens.
AND....
i got the etsy page up and going again!
woo-hoooooo!
getting all this stuff listed on etsy is super time consuming. i hope to get everything posted over the next couple of weeks. so stay tuned for new and exciting things coming hot outta the kiln! (hopefully daily!)
hurray! here's a sneak peak:
thanks ya'll for being so loyal and checking in on me!
ya'll make it all worth while!
see you soon and as always, i am wishing you the very best!
happy spring!
sincerely,
trista
