Brushes, Pots, and More Pots

Took a bunch of pics today, getting ready to sell these pots and some others on etsy.

It was a gorgeous day though, so I went to the Circle of Eight sale here in Charlotte. Bought these brushes there from Kent McLaughlin, one of the guest potters there. He makes them. These are made from deer and bamboo.

At the sale, there were all kinds of pots from 8 different artists. These bowls are Greg's. I have yet to find someone who puts the amount of intentionality, color, and beauty to surface work as Greg does. Greg can tell you why he puts everything on the surface of his pots. Plus, he has great stories!

I really like the blue in Jen Mecca's forms.

These are Kent's. Notice the handmade brushes in the background. He even grows his own bamboo!

I especially liked these cups of his.

It was a day full of much sun. Spring is here!
Even the inchworms came to see the pots. (look closely at center of pic). I don't think they took any pieces home though. They picked great pots to hang out next to. (Julie Wiggins)
Back at the studio, this plate of mine came out of the electric kiln. I like making plates with the earthen red, but sometimes they warp a bit. This one is a gift just for me; so that's fine.

Can hardly wait to use the brushes. I spent the rest of the time in the studio trimming these yunomi. Listened to lots of music as I did all this, which was peaceful.

I love peaceful music and time at the wheel.
