thanks to everyone for coming to see me in the tremont art festival.

i have a wheel, i have a kiln, i need a bigger kiln, i have a studio...i will be moving and organizing my studio shortly. after 3 shows in august there will be a lack of updates on this site-more so than usual. while i re-group and begin working on new pieces i promise to post photos....

stalk me on etsy

for info on the classes i am teaching this fall go to http://www.arthouseinc.org. the advanced pottery class will be offered as a credit hour through ashland university. it will focus on surface decoration.

***UPDATE...plea bargain was moved to this Saturday, the 26th. same time, same place.

Being an artgirl means the accumulation of a ridiculous amount of art supplies. I will be selling some art, dirt cheap. And some supplies for jewelry as well. The pottery is good stuff but I need to clear out my inventory for when my studio is up and running. (Which is very soon...). The supplies are just things I no longer use. Lots of goodies.

and check out etsy. i added new things...
