this new year Jan 15th
It’s 2014, and life could not have changed more since 2013. Since Zoe joined us, the part of my brain that finds space to write reflectively about our lives as potters seems to have been swallowed by the all-consuming duties of motherhood. So be it. We wouldn’t trade parenthood for all the studio time in […]

We’re just seven weeks into our new adventure - the one in parenting. :) And if we’ve learned anything at this point, it’s that we should get rid of our expectations. (Especially the ones about sleep! In truth, though things are improving in that department. Thank goodness.) Among the expectations we tried not to have […]

Something pretty wonderful happened in our world this fall . . . we had a baby. Meet Baby Z. She was born the first of October. It is safe to say she is the light of our lives. We’ll get back to pottery-related things . . . at some point. :) For now, we’re just […]

Here are some photo highlights of what’s available (each photo is a direct link to the piece […]

slowing down . . . Aug 27th
It’s the end of the summer here in Vermont. Our neighbors’ kids are back to school, and I swear I can see a slight change in the color of the leaves if not a change in the feeling of the air around us. For us, it’s a time for reflection, re-setting, and winding down a […]

after the fair(s) :: thank you Aug 24th
We had a truly wonderful summer of shows, and we thank those of you who came out to see us - and those of you who shouted your support from the sidelines of these virtual spaces, too. :) Our biggest show of the year, Sunapee, was a huge success. It was fun and exciting to […]

making it nice Jul 30th
Every once in a while, I’m reminded to actually enjoy the pieces we’ve made for a few moments before they disappear into the hands and homes of others. (It happens so quickly, the unloading of the kiln to the goodbyes!) One of my favorite ways to spend some time with what we’ve made is to […]

third firing : the results Jul 17th
Just a quick note here to say that our third firing was a success! Of course, there are always hard lessons learned in wood-firing (more on that later) but overall, we were very pleased with the pottery. Here are a few snapshots from the unloading. {when you’re ninety years young, you deserve the first peek […]
