The shop will close early at 3:30 on Thursday, September 23rd. On Monday, September 27th I will be firing the gas kiln so the shop will be closed on that day as well.
During the rest of the month it will be open as usual: Monday - Friday, 1:00 to 5:00. (On Mondays and Fridays I often linger until 6pm so if you are downtown you can still stop by then.)
I like the idea of functional pottery being used in the rituals of daily living. I was an adult before I realized how the celedon teapot used on gray, rainy days and the casserole in which my mother made her tasteless jello salads had become, for me, the keepers of family memories. It is my hope that the pieces I make will be passed around the table, hold "treasures" from the beach or used in some way with enough frequency that they become part of the woven fabric of life.
I make all my pots by hand, mostly by using a potters wheel in my basement studio. The pots are bisque fired in an electric kiln and glaze fired in a gas kiln located in the backyard.
