Clayworks Spring Sale

Last night and today was the Clayworks Spring Sale. Since I'm a student, I wan't allowed to sell my pottery, but there was a student display, and I put this plate as part of it. It's one of my favorite pieces. It was a great time to talk with other potters and meet friends of friends.
The resident artists provided the yummy food. The flowers are gorgeous, especially that redish one... I have never seen it before.
The gallery was full of pieces made by resident artists. Good pieces; I hope the gallery furniture gets redone someday.
The resident artists all had different displays. Becky's birds are gorgeous. Some "flew off" in pairs to new nests to make their home.
Some of the resident artist displays from afar.
The student display...
And, the good news is that tomorrow, I can get back at the wheel, making pottery as spring classes begin next week. I'm really looking forward to returning. How I've missed it.
On another note, I've just rediscovered Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor. Now I think I have another podcast to listen to each week. :) He's really funny; if you haven't checked it out on NPR, I recommend it.
p.s. I just discovered the yunomi invitational online at AKAR. Here's the link. So many different yunomis.... Wow!

Amy, such wonderful pix!!! It was a fun time wasn't it? So glad you can get back to the wheel after the hiatus. The wheels have missed your touch!

Wow, I didn't realize there were so many residents at Clayworks, too bad I live so far away, love your plate. I finally posted some photos of my studio for you.

The sale looks like it was great! And speaking of the AKAR show, I got a bit excited and three of them are on their way to me right now.

Amy, I love the sgrafitto pieces -- particularly the plate with the Peter Mayer lyrics!
