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.....
Kris has been having some fun of her own in the studio working with combining glass and pottery to discover what can be created with the two together. The silica in the glaze combines very nicely with glass to somewhat mix and bond together. The pieces are beautiful with the very neat crackle effect that develops in the glass. Crackling is caused by the different rates of expansion and contraction of the glass vs. the clay when subject to the kiln heat. The glaze used in this piece is called "Midas Touch".
