Good Morning friends that I can’t see. As I sit here this morning thinking back on the week, I am shaking my head saying “what a ride”. My friend Susan, who is a big cheerleader of mine, was determined that I should have a web site & an etsy shop . She wanted more people to see what happens when the clay meets the hands of me. Now Susan says I need to blog (another foreign word to me) to keep you up to date on what happens in my 1865 rock house that I use for my clay studio & gallery. So here is the latest event of this week. I hosted a family of 4 on Thrusday for a 4 hour workshop playing in the mud. It is great fun for me to see someone that has never touched clay before, to end up with a “master piece”. Smiles, giggles & hugs & when can we come back happens every time I do a workshop. As we travel on this journey together, I will post pictures of the finished pottery pieces when they are ready. Susan did not say how long a blog should be so I will leave you wanting more—-I promise to share my humor, happenings, craziness & true love for the clay often. Stay tuned————————————-
I love this sign—it’s me!
This sign travels with me to art festivals.
Welcome to my gallery, The Pot Pantry!
Located 90 miles south of Kansas City on 69 highway sits a stone house built in 1865. It was first used as an office to load fresh fruit which was then hauled to town. Later it was used to house workers at the colonial motel. For awhile it was used for junk storage. Now it is a magical place for me to create & show my clay work. The first time I touched the clay I immediately saw a big pantry filled with pots made by me. So I named my space The Pot Pantry. Each time I enter the stone house, I feel the presence of those that built it. I thank them for building this rock house strong enough to withstand the test of time. I have a wheel & can throw pots. Perfectly round pots bore me & I prefer to hand build my pieces. That makes each piece one of a kind & totally my design. I created mugs for our local cancer group personalized with names of loved ones either fighting the cancer battle or in memory of a loved one that has died. I work with 4-H kids on their fair projects, many of whom have taken their clay masterpiece to the state level. Workshops are offered, art fairs are attended, competitions are entered & won, the clay is my world. Please visit my photo gallery for more of my work. All work shown is for sale. That changes daily & some pieces might not be available.
