I've been rolling out some new designs this fall. Some of you may have seen prototypes of these at recent shows. I am officially adding these to my line going forward. You can consider this weekend's Open Studio to be their "coming out party." Ahjoshi Hanbok. This jar is an abstract representation of a traditional Korean gentleman's garment. 11 inches tall. $160  Vase with Wire Handle. Textured to resemble a woven basket. Stainless steel handle doesn't mind getting wet. 14 inches tall. $85  Paperclip Jars. I have a deep and growing love of small lidded jars. Ideas for new forms keep popping up in my head. These are the latest. 4.5 inches across. $38 each.  Small Spouted Bowls. For serving sauces and condiments, and small mixing jobs. These are an updated version of the Condiment Triad, now these can be purchased individually. 3 inches tall. $24 each.  Kimchi Dishes. Really there are tons of uses for these. They are named after the small dishes that cover your table in a Korean restaurant, filled with various kimchis and tasty little salads. 5.5 inches across. $18 each.  Leaf and Pebble Necklace. These are not a new design, I haven't made beads or jewelry in a few years. At most of the shows I attend these days, they forbid you to sell jewelry unless you have been juried into the jewelry category. So these have been around. They will be clearance-priced this weekend at $15 each.  I sprung for a new banner this year!  In addition to the pots pictured here, there will be plenty of mugs, bowls, plates, platters, vases, jars, and as always, elephants. There will be a bargain table with seconds and discontinued items. Expect some homemade snacks too. Good Elephant Pottery's 8th Annual Open Studio Saturday and Sunday, December 13-14 10am - 5pm both days One of the best parts about visiting Lancaster, PA (where I did a show last month) is getting up early to explore the Lancaster Central Market, and picking up all kinds of traditional Amish foods to take home. One of my favorite treats is Shoo-Fly Pie. If you're not familiar with it, it's literal name would be Molasses Custard Pie with Crumb Topping. I decided to attempt one at home for Thanksgiving, and found out just how easy they are. In fact, you should be skeptical of any recipe that doesn't fit on one page. 1 nine-inch pie crust 1 cup molasses 3/4 cup hot water 3/4 tsp baking soda 1 egg, beaten 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 3/4 cup packed brown sugar 4 tbsp butter Preheat oven to 400°F. Whisk together molasses, hot water, and baking soda. Whisk in the beaten egg. Pour into pie crust. In a food processor, pulse together the flour, brown sugar, and butter, until the mixture looks like sand. Spread evenly over the molasses mixture. Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes. Lower oven temp to 350°F, and bake another 30 minutes. Allow to cool completely. Seriously, practice some delayed gratification, or your filling will ooze out all over the place. I hope your Thanksgiving was filled with yummy food and gooey sweet treats!  |
