The semi annual second sale starts Friday morning, January 14, 10am at Handwork in Ithaca. I helped set up three tables full of coop members cast offs. It's really fun to glimpse into the artist's process by picking through their not-so-good work. Naturally, I had many pieces to contribute (three bins full). I had almost one whole kiln load that I didn't like. I also still have three circus teapot sets left from when we lived in Green Bay. Every time I see those monkeys, lions and bears (oh my) I can't believe I made them. First, my son was about 8 weeks old when I began sneaking off to the studio in the evening to have clay time. That I could be as productive as I was that year is truly amazing. Second, I am really not a big fan of circuses, however, I did feel like I needed a reason to use color. Of course now that doesn't stop me. It's surprising how quickly the pieces fly out the door. Never fear there is always more so stop by often if you can.
