I love mud, be it in the studio or the garden. My first foray into ceramics was in the 1970s. I took a long time off for things like raising children and having a career in the Washington, DC area.

I got back into ceramics in 2000, taking classes from Fran Newquist at Manassas Clay where I eventually had a studio and sold my work.

Since moving to Asheville, North Carolina in 2009, I have established my own studio where I fire oxidation work and raku ware. I have had the privilege of taking classes and workshops from some amazing local potters.

Living in the Southern Appalachians is about as good as it gets. On the best days, the studio windows are wide open, good music is playing with the birds singing along, and I am up to my elbows in mud.

I had meant to post at least twice a week. A severely sprained knee kept me out of the studio until yesterday when I was able to play in clay for a couple hours.

Some lidded jars are drying and almost ready for the kiln.




I added terra sig to another piece to see how it would work on something so highly-textured.

As for today, it is pouring rain, but the Downton Abbey marathon is on PBS, and a big pot of soup is simmering on the stove.
