.One Person. One Pot.

This lil'clip really excites me.

I have to be patient for one more week. !!
Keys will be in hand.
My car full of supplies.
A truck on its way to my new space with many pounds of materials, clay, and a brand new wheel.

.Collaborate.

This past weekend Mortimer and I went to the rolling hills and the heat of Austin, TX. While escaping from the sun in the AMOA, I began to read the TRIBEZA and came across an article on Kreeger Pottery.
I must admit..I did not know who they were speaking of but this name was popping up a lot.
So, I did some googling.
And I am impressed. (for many reasons other than the following..)
This is a dream. A collaboration between many creative individuals in order to make an entity for many to enjoy.
It is a performance of food, laughter, conversation, and drinks.

Austin has great pride in their entrepreneurs and artisans. 
It is nice to see the two overlap in the video posted above.

.Stamp It.

With the help of Socwell, LLC of www.4Clay.com my stamp is made.

!!! Now the Work really Begins.

After two and a half months of online searches, bike adventures, trips around town in the car, negotiating, feeling high, and feeling low I have finally found a studio!

Now the Work really Begins. 

The space Mortimer and I decided upon is in the Ravenswood Corridor!
We will be nestled in a community full of artists, green space, and tasty restaurants. Not to mention the neighborhood is bike friendly, easy access to the Brown El Line, plenty of parking (if I need to drive) and just..awwe..just great!

For the last two months I have not allowed myself to think about ceramic form and function, color schemes, and pattern on pattern schemes, because I just didn't know when or where and how and when..when..when..when..I would be able to work.

Now the Work really Begins.

Back to the pages to sketch out studio lay outs and pottery. !

Now the Work really Begins.

.My Moment with the Goslings and Bunnies.

This morning I enjoyed a bottle of water at the Alfred Caldwell Lily Pond in Lincoln Park/Lakeview. The pond is less than a mile from my home.  I pass the entrance each day and often enjoy a snack perched on a rock before heading to the loop for a shift at work.

Lately, my days have been full of phone calls about square footage prices and electrical upgrades.

I am fortunate to have these conversations.

I am fortunate to have a spot near my home where I can listen to the birds, watch lil'goslings wobble, and giggle as bunnies hop.
