Fall and Holiday Shows

The crisp chill of fall with a few hints of winter are in the air, and I've been in a flurry in the studio getting ready for a series of seasonal shows. Come see me at one or more of the following events, and not only can you satisfy your need to support American-made artist entrepreneurs, you'll also find some darn nice pottery!

Saturday-Sunday, November 2-3, 2013:

A most gorgeous time of year to drive through scenic views in Weaverville and Barnardsville, and see beautifully hand crafted works in stunning home studios. I'm thrilled to return as a Guest Artist at the lovely home studio of textile artist Susan Webb Lee. We're at ##26 and #27 on the map.

What's this About?

Homemade: "made or prepared at home, or by the maker's own efforts." This includes wild concoctions inspired by random ingredients as well as divine multi-course sensory feasts. The maker could be a chef or just someone who loves food, from the look of a seasonally ripe vegetable to the aroma of freshly pinched herbs to the sound of a just right sizzle, and of course the taste. It's mostly small batch, done in a personal kitchen, but it could also be a small business that manages to keep the love inside each bite of what they serve in restaurants or pack into containers. It doesn't travel very far, if at all possible, and it involves seasonal ingredients. Every grain, leaf, teaspoon, pinch, and drip of goodness is touched by the maker, and the whole is a reflection of that heart and soul.

Handmade: "made by hand, rather than by machine." Pretty simple, and yet not simple at all. A wheel thrown bowl involves the combination and coordination of materials, physics, and aesthetics. It must survive the making, the trimming, the drying, the firing, the glazing, and then the firing again. Again the maker has touched every grain of clay, a thousand times over. And just as the heart and soul of the cook is evident in every bite, so the heart and soul of the potter is evident in the look, the touch, and the feel of every piece of pottery made.

When you put your heart and soul into making a meal, you want the dishes you use to be worthy of that meal. And when you make or use beautifully crafted, handmade pottery, you want the food to be worthy of its creation.

Life slows down when you sit at a table, in good company, and find it set with handmade lovelies that are laden with homemade love.

Homemade just tastes better on handmade.
