new stuff 

(now on etsy!)

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,

too much to mention here. finding time to make pots is getting easier and definitely more routine.  i am very excited to be in my new studio, foundation clay in the asheville river arts district. i am thrilled to be working with some seriously awesome people. we have a great dynamic and are all very different in our artistic approach.
