stepping into someone else’s shoes….

Well, I did it again… wrote a draft, and then life happened. Two years of it. I still find what I wrote below to be relevant with a bit of updating, as I am once again a sabbatical replacement, this time at Doane University in Lincoln, Nebraska. I’ll be filling in for my friend Eric Stearns while…

So big! So blue! New/old couch has joined my household. I found this beauty on Craigslist, and I hope she’ll be with me for a very long time. •• One of my commitments for 2020 is to increase my “sustainability factor”. In practice this means buying used items whenever possible, natural materials (which I already love, no sacrifice there)and trying to eliminate plastic as much as possible.
Tagine time! Having fun working through new forms with my flameware class. Looking forward to cooking in this. •• Teaching a flameware class has brought me full circle, back to my days of teaching @iusceramics, and the work of Megan Plaiss, who was researching flameware during her senior year. It was great to share her blog (link on the Claybucket) and pots with my current students here at @potterynorthwest. •• #clay #ceramics #trynewthings #flameware #experiment #takerisks #thejoyisinthemaking #leadbyexample #tagine #claypotcooking #inspiredbymystudents
Pottery Northwest @potterynorthwest still has a few spaces available in a two day, hands on figurative workshop focusing on sculpting hands & feet, led by Anyuta Gusakova @anyuta_the_artist. •• Link in my bio. Anyuta is a wonderful instructor, should be a great workshop! •• #potterynorthwest #clayliveshere #workshop #sculpture #figurative #residentartist #hands #feet #ceramics #claysculpture
Warm up exercise. So good to be back in the studio (my own sweet little studio!) and getting back to making. •• The past month has been full of so many good things, from a whirlwind end of quarter leading into a fabulous Clayfest Northwest, making pies with my mama, a luxurious dinner out with my sweet sis & her hubs, jigsaw puzzles, cat snuggles, a successful first week of classes here at @potterynorthwest to moving, again. See my stories for pics. •• I’m still unpacking & settling into my new nest, but looking forward to standing still (location-wise) for a good long time. Looking forward to new adventures and directions in my work, instead of my life. •• #luckiestgirlintheworld #warmingup #standingstill #movingforward #artistlife #studiolife #porcelain #pinchpot #3inches #clayliveshere #pottery #ceramics #clay #maker #seattleartist
Out to dinner with the fam! Exploring new spots in my old stomping grounds. @lovealene @westroserestaurant @ellicottvilleny
Sweet little babe. •• #pinched #porcelain #ceramics #vessel #clayliveshere
