the pottery will be closed from october 31st thru november 9th.
i've been away from the blog for bit. i apologize. it seems that as tourist season rolls away and the business is slowing down, the rest of life has picked up. sometimes nearly franticly. i am still working hard to create a glaze in the electric kiln that truly motivates me and inspires me. i'm getting closer. i am starting to find some combinations thats work...but alas i am not sure that the magic of fire will ever be truly replaced. sigh.
anyhoo. i'm going home for a little while. i am so excited to catch up with old friends and spend some time with my family. also, i desperately need to hold some other peoples pots :).i need to see the pots of people who i look up to. gallery tour - western nc!! i cant wait for some inspiration.
so excited for hills and cool night time air. when i'm in the mountains i feel like i can get lost in the tucks and rolls of the hills and become one with nature. its an amazing feeling being closer to the sky and closer to the earth at the exact same time. kind of spiritual... (i m a nerd).

it was supposed to snow last saturday. the weather man called for a scant 1 or 2 inches. the snow started falling around 8:30 a.m. it fell and fell and fell. all day. it was beautiful, but almost unbearably cold with a whipping wind and near white out conditions. i decided to leave the studio and drive around and take some pictures. i didnt last long. scared myself with over confident driving. i decided i did not belong on the road, so i went home and stayed there. it continued to snow until 6 pm. we ended up with 5 to 7 inches depending on where you live. too bad theres no hills here. i love sledding :)
