    "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful." 
    William Morris

     

    ".... And we will mature, and some element will become visible in our work that comes from our innermost experience in life, something that no techniques, nor any amount of historical training or courses in 'design' could ever foster, something that is our own, and unique. For if a thing is conceived in the depths of our being, we will find a way to express it: it may be crude and unskillful, but it will be honest and intelligible." 
    Marguerite Wildenhain

     

    "The link between the hands of the maker and the hands of the user seems increasingly important to me in this world where we are often distanced from the sources of the things we rely on to sustain us."
    Charity Davis-Woodard

     

    "Vocation: . . .where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet."
    Frederick Buechner

     

    "Nothing lasts, nothing is finished, nothing is perfect."
    Anon 

     

    renegade potters;
    the celebration we share;
    local potters all.

    quiet weekend.....

    DateMonday, August 23, 2010 at 9:36AM

    With Slate at his mom's, and Tina half way 'round the world, it was a very quiet weekend around here. It was kinda like the calm before the storm. School starts back this week, and that means waking up and moving about at 6am :-( I have thoroughly enjoyed not getting outta bed until at least 8, sometimes even later, but those days are over, for now. 

    I threw and trimmed a few bowls, spent a little time attempting to clean up my garden, waited on a few customers, and went to Zimmerman's Vineyards Saturday night with my friends Jeff and Michelle. Our Two Cents played the blues, and the wines, as always, were tasty. I wrapped up Sunday night by grilling a pie for myself -- goat and fresh mozz cheeses, mushrooms, roasted tomatoes and salami, with a little fresh basil and hard cheese grated on top after it came off the grill.

    Although most days are still in the 90's, it won't last forever, and it's time to get my head pointed in a different direction. Cooler weather is around the bend, time to plan my fall garden, and get cranking in the studio. All for now.....
