Unlike last year, when I sometimes booked more shows than I could supply, I feel totally confident that I have enough inventory to get through all three shows. I've been busy. In fact, I produced an entire cycle of work more than my wildest predictions for sales. (A cycle is worth roughly $5000 of inventory). This photo does not even include the last cycle, which was waiting to be fired at the time. So hopefully when I'm done with this month, I'll already have a head start on fall inventory.

This is the third time I've been asked by the Ceramic Guild to jury their bi-monthly show, which is now on display in the Scope Gallery at the Torpedo Factory, in Alexandria VA. Their current exhibit is titled "Seeds of Summer" and runs through the end of July. I have been doing this every two years or so. Some of the artists have been in the Guild all three times, it is nice to see how one person's work can grow over the years. There were also some new artists this time, which I enjoyed reviewing as well. Here are some of my favorite pieces (click on the thumbnails for a larger image and caption):

Keep looking ... you'll see it.
