Earlier this month I went to Chicago to see the SOFA art show - Sculptural Objects Functional Art. This is a view of my friends standing in front of Navy Pier, the venue for the show. In early November the weather was warm and balmy, so we walked and walked and walked!











This piece was in the show. A ceramic piece made by Ruth Duckworth. I love the sense of design - subtle and strong.

Getting ready for the Ingersoll Creative Arts Centre Studio Tour Sat. Oct 3rd and Sun. Oct. 4th. $20 Ticket includes lunch on Saturday and a unique pottery tray made by the Ingersoll Creative Arts Centre Potters! Choose from 325 trays which will be on display at the lunch venue on Sat. from 11-2 at St. James Anglican Church! 35 artists and 11 Ingersoll Studios and 2 Thamesford Studios. Sunday visits are free.

Come for a lovely drive in the country - my friends and I look forward to your visit. Heather MacIntosh will be showing spectacular watercolours; Keith & Rosemary Lewis have new pottery works, both large and small scale;

Susan Clark has amazing colourful quilts of original unique designs; Monika Burrell has new work - paintings as well as pottery. See you then!

Okay, Okay,

Everyone is sick of this pot....

So this is the last post about it.

I put me in the pic just to show the scale of it.

Finally, a better picture of my POT. More to come tomorrow. Slow learning figuring out this blogging.

This is the biggest pot I have ever made!

Paperclay stoneware - thrown and coiled. This soda kiln was built by Barb Murphy, Heather Daymond, Terry Osborne, and me. It fires like a dream!
The soda did its magic and left a lovely sheen on all the pots all over.

Ever since we built Beaulah Baby, I have dreamed about making a pot to fill the kiln. Sweet.
Let me know what you think

Artists of Oxford Launch Party

Last night Artists of Oxford had a super successful launch at Bronson's Steakhouse in Woodstock, Ontario. Mayors of Woodstock and Ingersoll and our MPP Ernie Hardeman were present for the opening ceremony. Here they are signing a painting in progress!

This is my first blog.

Today is my first entry into the world of blog.
