New (& Green) for Spring

I heard the call for green, and after much testing, have responded with this new, light, mint-y, spring-y green, my fourth new color for 2012. I’ve also been working on new forms (batter bowls and teapots with saucers, both with stripe-y underbellied handles inspired by this teapot), and playing with familiar forms, per my usual tinkering (clover cups, bowls, vases, and flower bricks). These lovelies and many more have been, or soon will be, added to my Etsy shop and Gallery store for spring shopping and gifting. I love spring, and I sure love color, so it’s fun to see my studio in bloom!

Catalog Stylin’


I’m delighted to share that one of my small stamped bowls (in Garnet) was chosen by a stylist for a photo shoot in Room and Board‘s 2012 catalog. It’s wonderful that companies like Room & Board and West Elm are using handmade objects in their styled environments, helping to illustrate that the arts and craft are important to making a home homey! My bowl is a small addition to the setting (though still distinctive I think), but it’s also in proximity to a KleinReid bud vase, so the honor of being included in the catalog is double for me. Thank you to the gallery folks at Northern Clay Center for both the news and connection.

Pottery Invitational

The Pottery Invitational Show & Sale at the Worcester Center for Crafts (where I have coincidentally been teaching adult classes since 2001!) is April 27th – 29th! I’m so pleased to be a part of this great two and a half day exhibition and sale that was curated by fellow potters Hayne Bayless and Hannah Niswonger. The show comprises a fantastic group of twenty-two studio potters from New England who will be standing side-by-side with their work for the weekend, making this an exceptional event! Visit the link to read all about events within the event, details, and times here. Artists include Kirsten Bassion, Maya Machin, Hayne Bayless, Michael McCarthy, Dan Bellow, Hannah Niswonger, Dwo Wen Chen, Tom O’Malley, Marty Fielding, Rob Sieminski, Naoko Gomi, Brian Taylor, Louise Harter, Kate Doody, Robbie Heidinger, Sam Taylor, Diana Thomas, Jim Lawton, Tom White, Jeffrey Lipton, Adero Willard, and myself. It’s a must attend event for my fellow New Englanders!

Here A Plate, There A Plate

Just a quick note with a fun collage of my plates to let you know about two upcoming shows. At the Penland School of Crafts Gallery in NC, I’ll have plates in their Artist Plate Exhibition, March 20th – May 6th, which features “a collection of artist-made dinner plates and related insights about food.” On the other side of the country in Seattle, for the four days only of NCECA, I’ll have plates in the La Mesa Exhibition with Santa Fe Clay at the ACT Theatre, March 28th – 31st. This annual exhibition with a place setting each by 150 potters is sure a sight to behold.

If you understandably can’t attend either, you can always check out the plates available in my online shop here, and see more of my exhibition schedule here.
