Hey there busy bee. This is a bee, on a sedum plant. I have been quiet here, as it’s been a challenge to know what to say, and how to respond to folks reactions. So- I’m taking my cue from this friend these days. Smell the flowers, prepare for winter, rest a bit. 🐝 👉🏻This post is my way of letting you all here on IG know I’m not attending this year.
Those in the world of typical jobs might call this a family medical leave. For someone like me, who runs a business, is self-employed and makes a living in the arts there’s no good phrase- it’s just a pause. I have decided to focus my energies on keeping myself healthy and strong to be the best support I can be for the person who has made the life I live possible. My mama’s time in the hospital revealed more things that needed attention and now we have changed paths. Life has a way of doing that, doesn’t it? So, instead of finding yet another frenzied gear to shift into to create all the pieces and all the parts I put into a giant show like Rhinebeck, I’m taking a pause, a gap year, a break. I know my focus is in the proper place. The festival has been very supportive and I plan on returning next year. I’m grateful for that, and will miss not being with all the wonderful folks in the magical “prom” that is Rhinebeck. 🧶🍁♥️ So, know potter is potting. Just at a slow pace. An almost glacial restorative pace where the making brings the calm. The wonderful place that creativity holds to sort, clear, and mend. No hustle here, just a lot of bee. 🐝

Neither clay nor studio content. I’ve been quiet here as I’m spending my energies focused on other things lately. Grateful for the quiet spaces and busy hands in other ways. An unexpected extended stay at the hospital for my dear mama. ❤️ A cascading domino of things making her recovery long and excruciatingly slow. I’m exceptionally grateful to have the time and space to be here with her and provide comfort in whatever way I can. Ever so pleased there are spaces to sit and reflect while waiting continues. 🌱🪡💕

New fun things! Mugs, of course with some crabs (it IS Maryland after all) but also these handbuilt dishes. Different shapes, totally fun to paint and carve and very useful shapes. These oval ones I affectionally refer to as a “food canoe” because, well so many things- I love food, I love canoes- It’s just SO FUN to say. What will you put in your psst- I posted some orders online too 🌈🦀🐏🛶😎

I know some folks think I have the coolest job. Turns out someone else has a waaay cooler job than me. Back to the studio after a glorious sheep filled break at a little slice of paradise is just magic. Being around sheep has to be one of my favorite things and it’s amazing to be around at lambing. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 10/10 I’m smitten with these little friends- Baa-bka and Bundt (and mama Ganache) ❤️❤️❤️
Now, to sort through all the inspiration and design for the next while dreaming of sheep

Here’s the finished spoon from my recent reels. I let it dry for a good long time before I slow bisque. I’ll poke a hole with my needle too l in the handle. However-This is totally unnecessary, if it is fired slowly will be just fine with air trapped. (I know I know…some folks will have issue with this- oh well not my experience) I’m choosing to poke a hole to let it dry a bit faster so I can move this through the ceramic process!

These beauties are some of my favorite “new” stuff that is porcelain fired in Sophie-Lu the gas kiln 🔥. The designs are carved with and slip trailed and pressed with homemade stamps. All to make pots that look like the things I like to knit, cuddle in and have as hand me downs from years of wooly love.🐑💚

And the front! This is the other side of the mug! Each mugs has a sheep knitting a rainbow scarf that swirls around the mug to the maple tree on the other side. 🐑🍁🌈 Here’s the ways to get a mug (or two) 1. Booth 27 A 8 - near the 4H gate choose your own beauty, make a new festival friend, get some yarn 2. Order online - shipping on a schedule-notes in the listing on my site. (Potter has two hands, full life, needs things like sleep etc…) 3. Join the mug club on Patreon - they already have mugs bagged and ready for pick up at the show or shipping from studio if they’re not in attendance. Plus- they get mugs/ pots all year long . (Link in bio) See you all on the other side of Rhinebeck Saturday!! 🫠

Ah, it’s fall, and I’m in New York. It’s the most glorious of fall days. Set up the booth for , have already eaten two hot apple cider doughnuts and now a little r&r.🍎👩‍🍳😘Here’s a peek at part of this year’s mug. I used a variety of techniques on this design- this picture shows a watercolor wash on the carved leaves and tree. 🍁 The other side has a critter… and some knitting… 🤔I have a bunch of mugs at the show, and I’ll have some listings online Sat am for those who want to shop from home, or have their mug shipped. 😁
Now for a little rest (and maybe more cider doughnuts) before the storm of Rhinebeck begins! PS- Dear Mother Nature, that is not an invitation for more storms, please no rain for the next two days 😬 🤞🏻🌈☀️

Rainbow sheepy bowls. These small bowls are a favorite, this year with a bit of a twist. The backgrounds are colored slips from my new studio project. I tested hundreds of colors in all the kilns and this is the rainbow available at my booth 27A8 - outside near the 4H gate. I’ll be posting some orders online Saturday morning too for those folks who want me to ship, rather than carry pottery around or for those shopping from home! I have LOTS of rainbows this year on a wide variety of pots. #🌈
