I’ve been working hard the last two months to get ready for my summer shows, and I think it paid off this past weekend in St. Clair! The weather was beautiful, I ironed out the kinks with my new setup, and have a little better idea of what shoppers are looking for. I couldn’t have done it without my amazing … Read More

I had a moment to head north before my summer shows, and before i’ll spend every waking hour next to my kiln. It’s also a birthday trip-conveniently before tourist season.

The sturgeon population of the St. Clair River is very special, and has been steadily growing in numbers. These amazing fish can live to be 100 years old, and grow to over 100lbs. Here … Read More

This week I committed to recycling all of my scrap clay in next month, in a spring cleaning effort. I do not have a pugmill, so that leaves me with the only option of soaking dried clay in a 5 gallon bucket of water, letting the clay slake and then mixing with a power drill. The liquid clay is then … Read More

Last Saturday marked the end of the first week of class. Getting back in the groove of teaching was much easier than I thought, plus I was blessed with great students for my first set of classes! The biggest challenges were re-organizing some areas of the studio to make it more functional, (as I only need a table and a … Read More
