Serving Plate

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)

The Big Crafty!

i am sooooo excited to have been accepted into 

THE WINTER BIG CRAFTY!!!

come see me next sunday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

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.

hurray!

Just got my official acceptance letter to The Handmade Market in Raleigh NC set for November 9th! I am super excited! This looks like its going to be a great show. There are so many talented artists. Can't wait to see y'all there!

A flask, because women drink whiskey too!

This is my first ever whiskey flask. I see plenty of man potter's making whiskey flasks, but never a flask to cater to the more feminine desires of lady's taste. I am pretty excited about how it turned out. I have brought it down here to Lazy Daze in Raleigh, NC and I am super excited to have re-"home"-d it to another potter friend who happens to be here. 

I love trades! In return, I got a sweet one cup coffee maker
