San Antonio Clay Festival 2013

Hi Friends,
I'll have a booth at the San Antonio Potters Guild annual sale "San Antonio Clay Arts Festival." Since 2009, I've participated in this sale. Each year I've upped my skills and work. I will continue to show off my mad "alternative" firing skills and my new direction with throwing. I hope you can come by and say hello.

On and Off Fred Studio Tour

It's that time of the year again. I'm preparing for my studio tour.  Feb. 16 and 17 from 11 am to 6 pm. This will be my third time with the tour. I will be dropping off my gallery piece on Feb 3rd at the Bihl Haus Arts. I'll pick up a few extra books to sell to patrons who need one at my house.

Armonic Art Show

My next show will be at Ray and Trina's house in Alamo Heights. They are a wonderful couple who have opened their home to artists, poets and musicians for a two night event. I was part of their show last year and we talked about doing a pitfire for their next show. Well here we are a year later and soon we will be setting some pots on fire! Saturday I aka it the Pit Princess will be setting some pots on fire on April 21. Pots will be prepped around 6 pm and the fire time is approximately 7 pm. This is an alternative firing process that creates wonderful colors on the surface of the clay. The reveal will happen approximately 9:30. Sarah is inviting ceramic artists to bring a bisque pot to the event and join in on the experience. I will also be selling my work there too. On Friday April 20th and 21st I  will join other artists as guests at Trina and Ray's home. Donate to their worthy cause of pet food bank. Bring pet food for Daisy Care pet food program.

My home profiled

Two weeks ago Chrissie Murnin, the reporter from the Express News came by with her photographer Danny Warner. We walked around and talked about the renovations I've done with the house. I was asked to have my house profiled because it is part of the On and Off Fredericksburg Road Studio tour. I was proud to be asked. I added crown molding to my living room a couple days before they came by. My sister-in-law came by to help stage the house. To read the whole article go to Express News ,

Getting ready for On and Off

The clock is running and I'm chasing it. I see my studio tour in the near future.  On and Off Fredericksburg Road Studio Tour. Mark your calendars for February 18th and 19th. Last year was my first year on the tour and I hardly knew anyone. Now I've got friends up and down the road. I'm excited to see how many have jumped on board. The tour allows the public to come to your studio and see your work and go home with an original piece of work.  Last year I had just my studio open to the public. I'm planning to use my living room and dining room as my display area. Ceramics need to be seen in a real world situation. I'll have a "discount" section. I'm thinking of creating an "Arty Party" for those two days. I better start working on pottery and less on fibers!

San Antonio Clay Festival and Sale

I am excited to be participating in San Antonio Potters Guild annual sale. It is called San Anton Clay Festival and Sale. I will be sharing a booth with Taaffe Caton. There will be 25+ potters from around San Antonio at the Pear Brewery open market. The Guild is excited by the prospect of increase foot traffic from the Saturday open market. This will be the third time I have participated in the Guild's annual sale. This I will be able to do credit card sales!
