We had great turnout for both the ACV Tour and my Holiday Open House with Nancy and Rachel.  The expanded showroom is still up and I’m getting used to the classroom looking so clean.  I have three shows coming up in the near future.  Two small home shows on the next two Friday evenings — the first at my friend Annie’s house in Charlottesville on 12/4, and the second at Richard and Joan’s house in DC on 12/11.  Then my last official show of the season will be at Mea Rhee’s pottery in Silver Spring, Maryland on 12/12 and 12/13.  For details on those shows, go to the schedule page of this site.

My expanded showroom will remain open Tuesday – Saturday through all of December.  You are welcome to come by and see the studio and kilns, browse the pots, and walk down to the river.  It’s a fun outing for visiting friends and family.   You can drop by without an appointment; the studio is never locked.  Or to be sure to catch me here, you can phone before coming — 434-263-4023 — or drop me a note.

Pottery classes are finished for 2009, and I’m clearing up the classroom for this weekend’s Studio Tour, sponsored by the Artisans Center of Virginia.  Mine will be one of fifteen open studios in the area, with a total of thirty crafters showing work.  Joining me here will be fiber artist Meredith Bennett, who will show her weaving, braids and felted work.  We’ll also have an exhibit of student work and some of my students will be on hand to demonstrate throwing and handbuilding.  Basic Necessities and Chirios Pizza of Nellysford will help provide refreshments.  There’s more about the Tour on the ACV Tour Page.
