| January 29 2008 Well Minnesota lives up to it's reputation as we go from yesterday with 40 degrees and rain to tonight when the temperatures are going to be 40 below wind chills. Fifteen below actual temp. We are working on the February firing. Anyone interested in participating in this one contact us . I should be down there finishing pots right now! Read yesterday's entries for some good links. I'm off.... |
Dreaming of spring on this cold February morning. We are filling
the workshop with greenware, and Paul says as soon as the
temperatures reach 10 degrees above zero he will start loading the
kiln. I hope that is soon!
We are signing up to be guest artists at Bill Gossman's studio in
New London MN June 23 , 24. Click here for more info
I also sent info to the Pepin area studio tour coming up this spring.
I'll get more details on that soon.
Locally a group is forming to visit two area artists in their studios.
The first road trip is to see Amy Sabrina and Jeff Oestreich. Paul is
excited about this new feature in his lesson program. There is such
a great pool of talent in this area that the trips could become a
regular thing.
I am making some changes in how I use this website. I have
recently begun listing on Etsy and have had much more exposure
on the web than I can muster up on my site, or my blog. I plan on
keeping this website going, in order to give folks information of our
comings and goings, and events happening here locally, and to
present the work as it comes out of the firings. I will always have
the newest work pictured on this website first. If an item here is for
sale in etsy the link will take you to my store where it is easy and
convienient for you to purchase.

Saturday March 1
Finally we are in the month of spring. The student tour went splendidly,
from what I hear. Paul took a few of his students to visit two artists.
They went to Amy Sabrina's in the morning and Jeff Oestreich's(See
links below )in the afternoon. This was a great trip and it was all within
50 miles of here.
We are just very lucky to live where we do and have such a wealth of
artists and craftspeople in our area. Local folks take note. There are
more day trips coming! Watch for details on the Local Page. All of
Paul"s classes will include field trips like this.
Also semi local. The kiln will be fired in the next ten days. Loading is
starting this week. If you are interested in kiln space contact us.
The spring calendar is filling up.
March 21 -25 Paul will be giving a workshop at Ogilvie High School.
Throwing demonstration, production techniques, mixed with Paul's
commentary on the history of ceramics and his 30 year involvement in
clay.
March 30th 36th Festival of the Arts at Steven's Point WI the link will
take you to their website.
There will be a firing in April space will be limited.
We will be part of a Horse themed gallery show at the Blue Iris Gallery in
Duluth. more on that soon.
The kids classes will start in late May or June. We are taking names

Well March has come in more like a Polar Bear than a lion. It was 15
below this morning AGAIN! I'll tell you everyone is getting pretty sick of it.
The March firing Is full, and so is April. Plans are to fire every month, so
reserve your space early.

Well I am updating here, and linking all items for sale in my Etsy Shop.
Rather than try to list items in both places, I will be putting everything in
Etsy. On this website , I will keep you posted on kiln firings , classes,
special events. I will also post Kiln openings here before I list each
individual item on Etsy.
I don't mean to repeat myself here, but for anyone new that is reading this,
It is a great venue for your art/craft work. Many of my Ebay customers
have found me there, and I am connected to a great network of other clay
people there. I am just trying, to sort things out, and organize ech! I am not
an organized person. It all takes a lot of time, especially with a slow
computer. Where else can you be open 24/7? At this stage in my
life/career, I have no desire to do shows. Travel is so much more
expensive these days, and I really want to spend more time in the studio.
The April firing is being loaded today. Sometime at the end of the week I
will be posting new work.
We are guest artists in the Fresh Art Tour that is being held in Pepin
Wisconsin, May 16, 17, 18. Now, I've got to get down to the studio.

Well kiln loading starts tomorrow for a firing this weekend. We are
stocking up for the Studio tour i n Wisconsin Fresh Art Tour. After that
we'll be firing in June for the Tour in New London- Lakes area Studio
Hop. AND I just found out we are IN The Stockholm Art Fair! Yes! I
just love that show, and I am always so happy when we jury in. That
makes our summer busy, but nothing like the old days. At home here ,
there will be summer kids classes, and some adults are continuing
through the summer too. Paul has been busy at the Kanabec History
Center helping them with their brick oven project. Another neat
project is the studio space being created by one of Paul's students near
pine City...more on that later.
Spring weather has finally arrived here, and the green grass is coming
up. Makes outdoor chores much easier.
We will be open weekends this summer when we are home, there will
be signs out indicating when we are open.

We have good news for Sticks and Stones Festival! Charlie Roth will
be performing both days! Charlie has been a musician and songwriter
his whole life, and we are so happy to have booked him for this years
event! Mad Cow Band will perform Saturday night.
We have open studio this weekend for all you local folks, and we have
a lot of pottery on display right now.
Mad Cow Band is performing at the Wyanett Town hall Saturday night
from 7 to 11. It is a fundraiser for Amy Sabrina's barn restoration
project. This will be the public debut of at least two of my fiddle
students, so we're going to have a lot of fun!

Coming soon, a Mad Cow Band Web page for my site. This
picture is from Saturday may 25. We had a great time, and I
hope everyone else had as much fun as I did. I am so happy
to be a part of this group. We play a wide variety of music, all
danceable if last night's crowd is any indication.
The kids, my students that played, did a great job and I was
so proud of them getting up in front of people that way. Mad
Cow Band performs next Month at the Kanabec History
Center. I have also booked us for the Sticks and Stones
Festival this fall. Charlie Roth will be performing both days
of the fest, and that is going to be great. The link to his
myspace has downloads of his most recent songs. Charlie
fits into the theme of S&S so well. Our Philosophy is Hand
crafted, original and Local. Charlie is all three!

We are having a busy week getting ready for the Concert at the
History center on Thursday, so I'll leave the picture up one more time.
The show starts at 7, but they will be serving hot dogs and lemonade
beforehand.
We will be at the Lakes Area Studio Hop this weekend. Paul will be
at Bill Gossman's in New London. He will have pottery in the load that
Bill will be opening that weekend. We are getting ready to fire later this
month. I had told many people the first half of June for the special
orders, but the wet weather has slowed drying time and held us up a
bit.
