Second Open Studio Tour

Thanks to all who stopped by on a rainy then sunny Columbus Day weekend for the Elmira Open Studio Tour.  It was my second year on the tour.  And while attendance was lower than last year I did manage to do better in sales. My work is definitely more focused this year and I have been able to meet the needs of my customers better.  It's a nice challenge to bring together function and form as there is always room for improvement. I also enjoyed making pots on my dining room table.  Click here to see the interview on News10 Now.

Many of you asked about where you can find my work outside of my private residence and beyond the studio tour.  In Elmira shop Cappy's a locally owned gift shop on the corner of Main and Clinton Street.  In Corning, The Tea Chest on Market Street is another locally owned business that sells my mugs as well as great loose teas.  And in Ithaca, Handwork Gallery, possibly...I am currently in the jury process for membership.  I will keep you posted on how that goes. 

If all goes well it will only take a few months to adjust to a new level of production.  I have set a goal to begin online sales in February.
