Think I'm caught up . . .

Hello!

 Unless someone says otherwise,  I've completed and notified people who have ordered pottery and patiently waited to hear from me.  Some of you recently returned to your lake homes for the summer and may be in touch soon. Is there anything you're still waiting for from WillowAK Pottery?

Out of the kiln recently are plates headed to Talkeetna's beautiful Dancing Leaf Gallery.  When the plates are delivered, I will also submit a large wood salmon that has been decorated for the Talkeetna Historical Society Salmon Run Art Fundraiser. Many decorated salmon will be auctioned to benefit the Museum and the Historical Society.  Right now, the Seven Sunshine Salmon piece I have is a work in progress, but it will end up looking something like this:


 It could end up being ugly...or not. Time will tell.  Eclectic, yes, and smiling! 

Now, to the pottery:

Below, are images of the most recent porcelain items out of the kiln...most of which are ready for new homes. If you see something of interest or if you want to know more about any of them, please email willowakpottery@gmail.com or text 907-360-3696. All the images should enlarge so you can see more details.


1.  Black bear-on-a-log bowl

2. Caribbean and mystey glaze collection

3. Floral pie plate

4. Caribbean fish platter

5. Rectangular and square plates

6. Charcoal wood grain plates

7.  Dotted trio

8. Blue-banded pair of square plates

I've moved on to making mugs.  Many mugs. 
They'll end up at a new shop in Anchorage, Winter Solstice Sewing & Crafts.   How exciting to have a NEW shop catering to those who love the creativity of sewing and crafting!  Check out the link. Love the logo!  Stay tuned to hear more.

Yes, you are welcome to bring your guests to the studio if they are interested in pottery or looking for a unique gift. Texting 907-360-3696 is the best way to make that happen. 

Thanks for looking.

Hot from the kiln . . .

 I like to show a few of the newest pieces from the kiln so you have a better idea of what to expect in the studio on the Willow Garden Tour...which happens TOMORROW! This is a design you will see on many of my pieces  going forward. Carved, stamped, Alaskan. "Spruce and Moose" is the theme. Think small pitcher, heart bowl, toothpick holder, treats or coins. Or think anything you'd choose to put in these pieces. Vase, covered dishes, holder for large sponge. Floral arrangement bowls or mosquito coil holders. A French butter dish assembled. It takes two parts: water in bowl on the left; butter pressed into the one on the right, which is flipped over onto  the bowl with water. Leave on the counter, without refrigeration and with soft butter. One fish, two fish, three fish platter for treats. Matching coasters to place under liquid treats. Cream-colored bowls.  Clean and simple.                 s "Spruce and Moose" mug up close. T...

 The Tour flyer with additional information providing directions and garden descriptions is available on the Willow Garden Club Blog . Photos of some of the pottery in the studio are shown in previous WillowAK Pottery Blog postings. Take a look to see if a stop here to say hello and check out the pottery is a good idea for you. This note is simply to say SAVE the DATE of Saturday, July 20, 2024, for touring gardens and art. It is a self-guided tour. Visit the locations in whatever order you'd like. Consider it a day for appreciating the beauty of gardening and art as you learn and socialize along the way. Hope to see you at WillowAK Pottery. Birch, official greeter.

🎶🎶🎶🎶 ... said the night wind to the little lamb These are lyrics from a Christmas song "written in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis as a plea for peace. The lyrics reflect a hope for peace on Earth..." which is our hope for people around the world. The lyrics, by Noel Regney, conclude with, "The Child, the Child, sleeping in the night, He will bring us goodness and light, He will bring us goodness and light."  That, too, is our hope for the future: goodness and light!   Merry Christmas to each and every one of you.   May we all spread goodness and light in 2025!  Keith and Carol 🎶🎶🎶🎶   🎶🎶🎶🎶   🎶🎶🎶🎶 ___________________________________ What I see tonight are tables loaded with pottery in my studio.  All you see here are made  of porcelain.
