Greetings!

I have a some events coming up in the next few months:

Tango Themed Fundraiser for Starworks

I will be giving a tango lesson at the annual fundraiser for Starworks, in Star, NC on Sept 16.  I love dancing the Argentine tango and am really looking forward to sharing this dance with folks at this fundraiser.  When I started learning the tango 13 years ago, it really affected my clay work and, in fact, I started to see the world differently. The reason is that the tango relies a lot on maintaining connection with your partner and constantly acting and reacting within the feedback loop the two of you create.  I started to see this feed back loop everywhere, particularly in my clay work.  I started “listening” to the clay more, which sounds pretty corny, but really what I mean is that I became much in tune with the water content of the clay.  Any move I want to make with the clay is most efficiently made at a certain stage in its drying.  When I started learning tango, I started to really notice the constant and subtle changes that clay goes through.

Starworks is a fantastic arts non profit in central North Carolina, near Seagrove, which is one of the epicenters of pottery making in the US.  And its one of my favorite arts organizations.  It’s an honor to share a bit of my favorite hobby in support of this organization.

There will be live tango music by the Lorena Guillen Tango Ensemble

Please consider coming to this event and learning some tango!

Opening Reception June 2, 5-8pm

I'll be showing a range of work from several series I am currently working on in both exhibitions.  In addition to my normal work, I will be displaying a few pieces in each exhibition of special note.  In 2019 an arsonist burned down the building where my studio was located.  If you are interested in the story, here it is.  After the fire, I dug through the ruins and excavated a number of pieces that survived and were "fired" by the building burning.  I will be including a few of these "Arson-ware" pieces in both exhibitions. 

Also, I have been working on a collaboration with Bright Angle porcelain design studio on a translucent porcelain pendant lamp that I am excited about.  This piece will be available for order with 6-8 week delivery time.  (I've included an informal image to give a sense of it -- better images coming soon.)

The images below are from my upcoming show at Signature Contemporary Craft in Atlanta

Finally, I have been having a few issues with my mailing list.  I'm in the process of trying to sort it out.  My apologies if you receive more than one newletter from me this time.

Thanks always for your interest and support and feel free to contact me with any questions.
