kicking it.
i am mostly a hand builder, but every now and then, i find great enjoyment trimming my pots on my kick wheel. sometimes it’s good to mix it up !

hide + seek . . .
there is a fun thing going on at NCECA this year. we’re playing hide + seek with our pots ! 36 potters will be hiding a pot out in the streets of HOUSTON and if you find one, you get to KEEP IT ! here’s how to play . . . go to instagram: hide’n’seekah (hidenseekah) and follow the 36 potters for clues. FINDERS KEEPERS.

clay + calligraphy.
2 of my favorite “pastimes” rolled into one. i have always been extremely passionate about handwriting. growing up, i wanted “hand writing” to be my job. i even once hand wrote my résumé for a graphic design firm and was later told that THAT was one of the reasons i landed the job. now that i am lucky enough to create my own jobs, i’ve hired my own hand to collaborate with my clay. so you see, dream jobs can come true . . . stay tuned for my new line of calligraphy on clay.

let there be light.
one of the the main things i love about my new studio is the natural light. during the day, i don’t even turn any lights on in the studio. i love how natural light brings out the vague contrasts + contours in my work. these simple things in life make me excruciatingly happy.

leather hard.
my absolute favorite stage of clay is when it is leather hard. the contrasts really show up and it is cool to the touch. it changes completely once it becomes bone dry and then of course when it is fired and glazed. i’m searching for a way to keep it looking like this. not an easy task. but stay tuned.

it’s a breeze.
i made this linen curtain to hang at my front door when i’m not feeling social but want the light and air. i can see YOU, but you can’t see ME . . . and i still get a nice breeze and beautiful natural light. i didn’t realize when i made this curtain that it would be so dense from the outside looking in, but the fabric is completely solid from the outside. i honestly didn’t think i could love linen any more than i already did . . . but I DO !

encore.
guess who else will be marching . . . back to the south of france ? . . . MOI ! i am so excited i can barely stand it. i will be doing the residency again this coming may-june. this is the place that truly inspires me to the core. the food, the people, the light, the mediterranean sea, the colours, the life style, the landscape, the language, . . . i wish everyone could find the place that truly resonates with them. there is nothing better to really feed your soul.
