New Pots for Artscape Baltimore

7/12/2010

I've been working on several new designs, to be unveiled at Artscape Baltimore this weekend. Click on the thumbnails for bigger photos and descriptions:

Fear not, I will also be stocked with old favorites like the Chopstick Bowls, Crab Coasters, and Personal Teapots. And I won't forget to bring Enormous Coffee Mugs, a whole herd of elephants, and a lot more. I will be in space E13, near the corner of Mt. Royal Ave and Lanvale Street (pretty much same spot as last year). This is my first show of the year, looking forward to getting outside. Fingers crossed for some good weather this weekend!

hi while scarfing my lunch, i took the time to look at your site. i may not, again, be able to hang around artscape due to a weekend work commitment (near dc). scrolled down and read a bit. of particular interest is your calculating your pay rate for various projects. great! often so difficult to do this, particularly when there are those odd times spent planning, thinking, dreaming, not to mention failed experiments.
i work 2 jobs and have had to exercise great thrift through the years. it took me years to get the courage to buy pottery or glass due to the breakable (and heartbreaking loss) aspects. i'm an amateur craft's person with an interest in many mediums and the master of none, in a job requiring technical skill (lab tissue histology) that few see or acknowledge. getting to the point where i could occasionally pick up a small item for daily use has been a change for me on several fronts: the cost, fear of loss due to breakage, and admitting that i may never have the time or skill to make something like that for myself- what i'd really like to do. i've always respected the artist's pricetag. they know what it cost to produce and what they need to live.
please continue to make those more readily affordable everyday items, the cup or bowl. the glance at breakfast, or seeing anew through the eyes of a friend sharing a cup of tea means a lot. your pieces are quiet, graceful, and allow me to bring a little beauty into my everyday life.

Looking forward to seeing you at Artscape again. I'm interested in a few other pieces you make, but the compost pail intrigues me. I'll ask about it at Artscape. Best of luck this year.
