With Spring comes spring cleaning around the resort and studio grounds. Although we are enjoying being outdoors and in the sun, the studio is always ready for a visit. If you need that special gift, or just feeling creative-and don't mind messy fingers, give us a call.

As winter releases it's grip on the northland I used a day of warm weather to get a few shots from outside the studio. Now that the snow is melting and the grounds are starting to dry up the Raku firing equipment is again accessible, I think a firing is in the near future.....
To tell the truth, I don't know if there is name for this so it'll just call it a knitters bowl. The ball of yarn goes in the bowl with the end pulled through the slot carved out of the side. As the knitter pulls yarn while knitting, the yarn ball spins in the bowl instead of rolling around. It's a great idea by whoever thought of it. And the best part, you could make your own of your very own design and glazed to perfection in colors that match you, we can show you how.
Isn't this the neatest bird house you've seen? Kris got an idea for this somewhere and of course sat down at the wheel and nailed it. It's manganese stoneware with glazed highlights with some of the clay left unglazed-the lighter tan body. Plus the little stem on top acts as a hanger!
With the change to the new website design all of the old blog posts went with the old site. If you want to see something again, respond to this post and I'll give it my best shot to find it and post it again. |
