A new batch of clay has arrived, the "to do" list has grown, and it's time for the potter to focus.
Much as I love studio time, I am doing less of it these days. Too many other community involvements, perhaps, one distraction after another, and yes, the pace and productivity have slowed. After this weekend of CERT training, my goal is to shuffle priorities a bit to spend more time with clay....new ornament designs, nativity sets, mugs, trays and bowls of many sizes, butter crocks, and more. Have some colored clay accents to try and there is a growing list of requests to address, including some promised donations. So, you ask, why are you sitting at the computer typing? Too late for clay tonight.
Hmmm....maybe I should make this blog a progress report of what I'm getting done in the studio each day. Can't start until Monday, but will give it a try next week. I do like lists and the satisfaction of a ✅.
- Monday: recuperating from two-day CERT training and still treating end of gout flareup
- Tuesday: slipped into studio to try out a few new ornament designs. Not a fan, yet. Selected capelet pattern to knit, so will select the yarn for getting that project on the needles.
- Wednesday: Anchorage appts. and errands. Yes, including Costco.
- Thursday:
- Friday:
Here's our new card:
If you have questions or would like to discuss a special order for holiday giving, please get in touch soon. As you know, there are many steps involved in creating "pieces with personality" out of wet clay and rushing the process is seldom successful.
