May Clay at Clingman Cafe!

How can it be the end of April already?!?!? Well it is, and I'm very excited for what May brings. To start us off tomorrow, May 1 is the opening of May Clay at Clingman Cafe (it's fun to say!). Trip Howell at Clingman Cafe has always been a great supporter of the many artists who surround him in the River Arts District and some from just beyond his 'hood, and if you're a regular reader here you know that he's hosting a three month exhibit of work by clay artists. You have one more day (er, that would be today!) to see the 'New Spring Work' exhibit and sale that has run the month of April.

And I'm very pleased to be a part of the May showing: May Clay. Starting tomorrow and running through the merry, merry month of May, you'll find some of my new work in the company of some very talented clay artists (see below for who they are). We're having an opening reception on Friday, May 1 from 5-7pm. There are a lot of great events on Friday night, and I'll be making some later stops myself - come start your First Friday fun with us at May Clay at Clingman Cafe! (really, it's fun to say!).

A taste of what you might find at May Clay:

bonjour vases by Holly deSaillan

'Among Us' by Cassie Ryalls

May Studio Schedule

I'm having a deja-vu-all-over-again moment as I could swear I posted this yesterday...but computer says no...

So once more, with feeling: greetings! Here is the much anticipated May open studio schedule for Crazy Green Studios! Click on the image for a larger view, and you regulars please take note of the highlighted days that show a change in regular scheduling. This includes tomorrow, May 1 - I originally had us on a regular schedule, until I realized I really should be at the opening reception for May Clay, and that would be hard to do while holding open studio. My apologies for any inconveniences - still working on the cloning thing.

Other adjustments for May: I'm closing Memorial Day weekend. It's also my birthday weekend, and while chances are I may be firing a kiln, a little open time will be good for body, mind and soul. And at the end of the month, I'll be closed on May 28 as I will be attending and vending at the Women's Business Conference.

There are many fun and exciting things brewing at Crazy Green Studios, and more updates and the seemingly erratic not-really-monthly newsletter will be back shortly, barring any more computer hang-ups, to enlighten, inform and entertain.
