Puppies and Pots!!

So today I went to Juniper Moon Farm
There are cormo sheep and angora goats, potbellied pigs and a mule.
And puppies.
Maremma Guardian Dogs



AND I started my ceramics class at Piedmont Valley Community College.
The only Virginia community college with a gas kiln.
I HADN'T THROWN IN 5 MONTHS.
It felt so good.

(pardon the pictures from my phone.....)


The space is not huge but they have all you need.



Even a beautiful view.

Masked.

Everything seems so COMPLICATED these days....  My studio is still in the works (2 weeks maybe???)
I'm taking a ceramics class at Piedmont Valley Community College (the only CC in Virginia with a gas kiln!)
I'm trying to make a March 1(ish) application deadline for a show....
So slip chemicals from LibertyTown (thanks so much Dan!)....
Hopefully between all these venues I will get it together!


(I'm sure you guessed...that's me behind the mask!)

Baby Steps



I am so excited!  I've finally started work on The Studio!  My new best friend Dan W. is doing the carpentry work: new windows and door, insulation and drywall (and anything else I might come up with along the way).  Yesterday was a full day.  NOW we wait for the electrician.  That has been the problem all along....looks like he won't be here for another week.  But at least I am making progress!

The kiln is sitting at The Kiln Doctor ready to be delivered and I already have orders for pots and the possiblity of a venue that makes me very happy!  I'll tell you more once I have it all arranged.
