Here’s a little preview of today’s update. It will be a mug fest. Lots of ready to ship mugs in a variety of designs. While there are a few one of a kind mugs and cups, I’ve made a small series of some of the…

A rest, of sorts 

A rest, of sorts 

I’m not currently in the studio, instead I’m taking a rest, of sorts. I’m finally fulfilling a long time dream to participate in the Des Moines Register Annual Bike Ride Across Iowa, but known as RAGBRAI.  It’s a phenomenal thing to be one of 10,000…

The studio has been busy since I returned from Maryland getting things ready for a special project. Those pots will be available later this month. I’ll post more about that later. I’m planning on a very large ready to ship July update, and will be…

It’s a painful condition, and I’m immobilized with a splint. Unfortunately…

November, really?

November, really?

There’s a time warp that happens after a big show like Rhinebeck. All of your energy has been channeled to getting all the things ready for the show, and all the things ready at the house for you to be gone at the show. The…
