All good things must end . . .

The show at Lille was a huge success! I am happy that so much of my work found new homes. Thanks, to all who came to check it out, especially those of you who took something new home with you. Sarah Wizemann, the owner off Lille Boutique will have some of my work in the store now, so if you are looking for pottery, or beautiful delicates you now know where to go.

Here are a bunch of photos of the pottery I had around the store. For those of you who could not attend, and for my personal viewing pleasure.

A Great Success!

Thank you to all who attended my Opening Reception at Lille Boutique. It was awesome to see so many of my friends and family eagerly arrive to see and touch my work, and even take some home for keeps! I will have more photos to show to those who could not attend later.

Today is the Day

All the work has been hung or placed and ready. Now all I need is a run, a good shower, and a well chosen outfit and this show will be "on the road". Here is a closer version of the show card, and the model from the front of the card.

Many people have asked if it was me in the photo. I may be caught camping in fancy underthings, but not with so little muscle on my legs! She is a beautiful girl though, and I am happy to bear even a slight resemblance.

I hope to see many friends at the show tonight!

Clarification

So the show card is not readable.


The opening is on nov. 7th from 6 to 9

Lille is located on E Burnside on the north side of the road, at about 9th or so.

Across the street from Hippo Hardware and The Doug Fir. It would be great to see you there, I will be all dressed up, and there will be wine and Tea and snacks. The show will be up for viewing however for the whole month of November.


Hopefully it is dry so we can ride our bikes!

Upcoming Show

I have mentioned that I am preparing for a solo show for Opening Nov. 7th at Lille Boutique in Portland, OR. Here is the shop blog,
www.lifeinlingerie.com/, from which you can view the website if you wish. The image is that show card advertising the show.

Cup and saucer.

This is my new favorite.

Detail

Here are a few more pieces that are less easily titled. The square cage and peach images have circular thrown bases on them like cake pedestals.

Bowls

mugs

Here are some fresh new mugs. And yes one of them has a fetus on it... My sister is currently round and ready to pop, so I guess it was on my mind.

Soda

Here are a few more, including two adorable cup and saucer sets that turned out a bright pomegranate color that I love. I was so happy to see these when I cracked open the warm kiln!

Soda

Hello
I have been very busy getting ready for my upcoming show at Lille Boutique, in Portland , OR. But today was a perfect day to take some photos. So here are some new pots! The first few are from a soda fired kiln. I love the bowl that glows like gold! I am now sure how I got that effect.

Beauties

Here are a few of my favorite pieces from a cone 10 gas reduction kiln. My usual standard fireing process.
Right now I am working on plates and shallow bowls for a traditional Italian table service, and some work to go into a Soda Kiln that will be happening next month. I am also working with slips and lace overlay on some things. And examining the saucer an an abject of interest as well as function. After all it is what you have to look at when you lift your cup to your lips to drink.

Salt

Another atmospheric fireing method is salt with salt. The Sodium combines with the heat to coat the pots with a patterned pocky texture reminiscent of the scales of a fish or the patterned wings of a bird. The results are always up to chance and each kiln load is different. Here are some of the pots that I fired with salt.
