Spring Sale
May 10 & 11, 2025
Saturday and Sunday 10 – 5
Two years ago I went with friends up to Clear Lake in early summer to see Western and Clark's Grebes in their courtship and bonding rituals. I'd seen some of this behavior closer to home, in SF Bay, but nothing like the numbers we saw around us on the water that day. I came home inspired by what we'd witnessed, and the dish above is an example.
More bird pitchers, some new creamers/ewers, new vases, many mugs and more pots will be in our upcoming soda firing and out in time for my Mothers' Day sale, plus pots from our glaze firing in February. Nathan Ring, one of my "firing squad," will join me with his pots on Saturday only.
If you haven't been here in a few months, you'll be surprised at the changes in my backyard, improved accessibility among them! For wheelchair access to the studio, please text or call me (below), preferably in advance, so you can enter through my back gate via the paved alley that runs through the block.
