Wheel throwing classes at Art House!!!

They start next Monday. Have you signed up? My classes have been reformatted to 6 weeks rather than 5. I am very excited about this because I feel the students will be able to get a lot more work and one on one time throughout the session. Its a great class that is always a mix of new students and some regulars. Try your hand at making cups, bowls and plates. Intermediate to advanced students can work on lidded vessels, vases and teapots.

Visit Art House's site for all of the info. Contact them to sign up.

For any specific class content questions feel free to drop me a line at artzy_grl@yahoo.com.

Mark Your Calendars!!!!

I will be starting to post about some of the Etsy and Art Fire artists that I like. There are so many and its hard enough to get some good pr on the internet with the over saturation of artwork.

Today I want to share luckalilly's shop. There is gorgeous, colorful pottery with a mod feel to it. As you can probably guess I love the black and aqua combo. Not to mention the meticulous handling of decoration. I do not have that kind of attention span. So stop by and check out the shop! And of course the blog as well http://luckalillyceramicsstudio.blogspot.com/.
Below is one of my favorite bowls in the shop

I have just joined a new site to sell my work. Artfire is another great venue to sell work directly to my customers for a very small fee. Check out my page here.

If you like things on etsy and live local please note I will not have these pieces with me at shows. Drop me a line and I can bring them along. If you purchase online and want to pick them up that would be lovely!

Thank you to everyone buying handmade this season.

oldies but goodies

i am using the open studio at the lake erie building (lake erie screw factory) as a way to clean out my studio. i am having a seconds sale. seconds include older work that no longer reflects my current direction, experiments or pieces with minor flaws. most represent old work and experiments from grad school. i have about 4 boxes of seconds i am bringing to the studio this week. i have more at home still! help me clean out my studio and my inventory. i have work from $2-40 on sale and then my new, regular priced items of course! its a great way to get some nice christmas presents early in the season. i will also have lots of christmas ornaments!

see you friday 6-9 pm at 13000 athens ave!
