I'm in a bit of a mad administrative rush to coordinate various announcements and launches, but watch the side bar for more details on each workshop, instructors, etc. coming soon. For now, you can see the mini-brochure below and/or click the link to the email announcement. Sure does feel like Spring here, so we might as well start gettin' busy!

chillin' at the stu, and planning workshops...
Actually, the chill is outside the stu. Inside it's toasty warm from my hearty little heater, which is pulling double duty as a drying box for some mugs. Tonight I'll load a bisque, and tomorrow I may not even have to turn the heat on. It's getting down to around 5 tonight before the wind, so we'll just see how much heat the little studio keeps.
In another installment of 'meet Team Crazy Green', today's intro is to Teva Hite:
Teva is a talented clay artist with a very cool eye for design and line, as well as a very welcome warped eye for the completely odd (ask to see her series of funky stamps!). Teva is one of my valued helpers, and today she actually came in just to work on some of her own stuff!
I've been working on the workshops for spring and summer, and they'll be announced soon. Well, okay, since you asked so nice, I'll just tell you that the series SO far is featuring the likes of uber-talented artists Becca Floyd, Heather Tinnaro, Holly deSaillan, Cynthia Lee and Becca Johnson. These are not yer grandma's workshops - stay tuned or join the mailing list to find out what's cookin' at Crazy Green Studios this spring and summer!
Pots on the heater are dry, time to rotate and start loading the kiln, then back to more mugs. peace.

more welcomes and other studio news
The welcomes continue, although Teva got in and out without me getting her picture (and she even cleaned the sink trap, which would have been such a great glam shot!). I'll get her next time she's here to do her own work.
But I did manage to get one new face logged!
Katie S (we have two Katies, if you're keeping count) joined the
studio last month and is getting her own 'art therapy' after
a day of counseling others
And in other studio news, yours truly was filmed for a web-based 'documentary' that's being produced at the website Our Next Thing, which chronicles the adventures of people who have made career changes and subsequently great life changes. Greg and Brooke were wonderful to work with, and made chatting incessantly about myself actually seem relevant! It never occurred to me to take out my camera and document my own documenting, so you'll just have to wait for me to get a copy of the trailer. But here's a shot from our first interview...
...soon to be featured on a website near you!
And a special shout out of thanks to Dan & Jael from the Chocolate Lounge for coming over during the shoot to take part, and to Heather Tinnaro for also hanging out and being extremely gracious to throw beautiful bowls for the camera (that are now designated for Empty Bowls). My friends rock!
In other exciting studio news, I've finally taken the Etsy plunge! I've only got a few things listed, and while I should be putting the studio back in order from the film shoot, and getting back on the wheel to start on mugs for the Chocolate Lounge, I'll be on the Etsy site soon to add more items. You can check out the page at a link somewhere over on the right side of the blog.
OK - cleaning up the studio and throwing some mug bases before I have to go home and start sorting things for the yard sale (right - if you're in Asheville, check out the yard sale listing for details and come on by!). peace.

back to work...
It was really nice taking the day off on Sunday to enjoy the beautiful weather and the historic event in our little burg, but the clock's a tickin' and there are pots to be thrown, kilns to be fired, glazes to be mixed, classes to be taught and on and on and on.
If only I had my camera to record some of these riveting moments! I did enjoy some outside time sanding pots the other day, but those pictures are on the other computer, as are the pictures of my first students first work lined up and ready for the bisque. And yesterday at the Bowl Project class, we had John Britt in to dazzle us with not only bowl making but glazing tips. It was another great class - one of the things I enjoy the most about getting to see even a mini-workshop and/or demo is that I still get so much out of it, and this was the case again, thanks John! And in a supreme Tom Sawyer moment, we even used some of my bisqued bowls to test out some of his glazing techniques and suggestions, thank you for that too! Oh, but I forgot to take my camera, so no pictures there.
Which brings me to tonight - friend Heather came over with a load of pots to bisque for her next firing, and it being the first 'guest-bisque', of course I wanted to document it for the blog and all those twittering to see the next studio development! I mentioned it several times - we listened to the debate, she loaded and I was trimming bowls, saying how I was gonna get the camera and take pictures. Next thing I know, the kilns loaded. So faithful readers, what we have is my friend Heather, enjoying a lovely pear/ginger/almond bread I made with pears from my friend Cassie's tree. Heather's actually enjoying her tea in a rare wheel-thrown Cassie mug, as it happens!
And in case you're wondering, Heather's looking at Harvey, the big, invisible rabbit standing behind me. And yes, that's tea in the mug, it was just late and it certainly LOOKS like she's looking at a big, invisible rabbit!
g'nite.
