drink. drink. drink.

i have finally glazed these new little cups. they are smaller than a coffee cup and bigger than an espresso cup (but perhaps perfect for a double malt scotch). i’m still not fond of making cups, but after next week, i will be done with them for a while. with the holidays just around the corner, santa’s workshop is officially open . . . i’m stocking up for the winter, as things are going to change in the new year !

a la francaise.

to me, FRENCH is one of the most beautiful of all the languages. it is tres elegant and sophisticated and chic. i think french words are the perfect icon to grace my thin wafer plates.

see more of them HERE.

new espresso cups in the works.

i’m doing 3 shows next month: the palo alto clay + glass festival, renegade los angeles, and renegade san francisco. kind of crazy, yes (i will be needing a LOT of espresso), but i figured as long as i was making work for one show, why not make a little bit more and turn it into 3 shows ? plus, i intend to take the months of august + september OFF. may was the making month, june will be the glazing month and july will be the selling month. i have a LOT of brand new work for these shows, so stay tuned . . .

have a seat.

i have a real *thing* for chairs. in 1995 i even opened a restaurant in san francisco and called it “café chaise.” i love old beautiful chairs, i love to sketch chairs. i collect chairs. i enjoy sitting on chairs . . . let’s face it, chairs are an essential object in our daily lives. and so are plates. so i have combined the two and am working on a new series of chair plates.

you can see them here. here. and here.

lets face it.

i’m working on a new series of shot glass/espresso cups with these funny little faces on them. i have an army of them waiting in line to dry and then to be fired, glazed, and fired again. i’m gearing up for the big palo alto clay + glass festival and will have a LOT of new work to show for myself. if you live in the bay area, it is a really fun outdoors event to attend, with over 100 artists and food and fun and sun.

mark your calender and come visit me!

a bad fit.

i’ve had a lot of requests for covered salt cellars, but am having a BIG FIT over them. failure after failure . . . EVERY single one. the cracking, the bad fitting lids, and the always dreaded “oxides jumping out of the imprinted lettering.” i’m hoping to get it right, someday soon. the good news is that instead of dumping these into the ocean, which i SO want to do, they will be on super sale at our SUPER seconds sale at fourth & clay on may 3rd + 4th. seconds on fourth is a BIG EVENT featuring josie, diana, whitney, me + 2 fantastic textile artists. items will be up to 75% off !!!! check back soon for more details.
