New Products

salt pig

I have two new items available for sale.  The first is a salt pig.  I have made them in various shapes, sizes, and colors.  It was fun experimenting with the shapes.  I'm not sure which I like best, so I guess my sales will tell me what is attractive to others.

match-strike dish

The other item is a match-strike dish.  I threw it on the wheel, then altered it into a rectangular shape.  While it was still on the wheel, I roughed up the outside texture so that a strike-anywhere match could be used on it.  It looks a lot better on top of my fireplace than an ugly cardboard box of matches.  

bud vase

All of my new products will be for sale at the Espresso Gallery in Embudo, NM from now through Christmas.  I will also be listing a few pieces on Etsy, including the bud vase to the left.  I will post more about that later this week.  My chip and dip platters will be at the gallery and I will also have several on hand at my own studio for those of you that contact me directly.  Thanks for checking in and please let me know what you think of the new items!

Holiday Bazaar

My pottery is currently for sale at the Espresso Gallery on Highway 68 in Embudo, NM next to the Embudo Post Office.  The gallery will be open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 12-5 pm from now until Christmas Eve.  There are five other local artisans showing their work.  You can find jewelry, glasswork, creams, perfumes, honey, and other bee products there along with my pottery.  I have pottery in the kiln that will be unloaded tomorrow, so the chip and dip platters should be ready then.

My First Dixon Studio Art Tour

My first Dixon Studio Art Tour was quite a success.  I met a lot of wonderful people, had a great show of support from the community, and sold a lot of pottery.  The weather on Saturday started out with wind, then came the rain, then the ice, and finally the snow.  Still, there were the brave souls that ventured out.  We all commiserated over the small crowds, but it was the arrival of our locals that kept the spirits high.  Sunday was a cool, but sunny day.  And the people arrived.  It was a pleasure to share my work and interact with all of you.

I sold all of my chip and dip plates, pictured to the right.  I promised many that I would be making more soon, and that is just what I intend to do this afternoon.  My next firing will be full of them.  Anyone that would like to secure one of these plates, please send me an e-mail and I will be sure to have one set aside just for you in the glaze of your choosing.
