Baltimore Clayworks- Watershed Kiln Gods Exhibit

This year marks the 25th anniversary for Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts and they are hosting a number of exciting events throughout the year to celebrate.  Back in 2010 I was awarded a Kiln God Residency at Watershed and thoroughly enjoyed my time there.  Baltimore Clayworks is exhibiting the work from a select group of the kiln god award recipients in an exhibition this month, called Watershed's Kiln Gods.  I'm happy to be able to participate in this great show.  You can also look for Watershed's auction to be held this summer during the Invite + Ignite symposium where I have donated a wood and soda fired ewer for the event.

New endeavors

Will and I have been busy these last few months planning an exciting new avenue for us.  We have joined forces with a group of local artists in the area to create a cooperative gallery in downtown Bakersville, NC, called Mica | Fine Contemporary Craft.  Lots of meeting and planning has been going on at first, but now we're a strong force in action, painting the building, making our displays, and getting things in gear for our grand opening.  Read our newsletter below for more information and stay tuned for more details!

Joy

It's my favorite time of year when the green of the earth and the beautiful light help the joy shine out of me!  Living around here, it's easy to find a day hike, for this one the other day, I ventured over to Colberts Ridge Trail, a hike up to the Black Mountain Range out of Celo, NC.  Little pieces of spring were showing up here and there, such as wild oats, false hellebore, dog violets, and bloodroot, but the hardwood trees are still holding back to give me views of the Blacks in the distance.  At home I've got some seeds started in the greenhouse and even a few things planted outside, even though it can be early here.  Oh, sometimes I think I could have been a full time gardener!  It all goes hand in hand with my creative life.
