Ceramic Arts Daily December 29 2008

Hello everyone!  I’ve taken a bit of a blog break over the holidays, but have been forced out of my stupor to share some exciting news with you.  In late October, local ceramic artist, Annie Chrietzberg, contacted me out of the blue to find out whether I would be interested in being part of an article she was writing for Pottery Making Illustrated featuring my handbuilt/wheel thrown mugs using lino-cuts which were inspired by a workshop I took last summer that Annie taught.  Trying hard not to appear to eager, I calmly responded, “Sure, why not?” without trying to show my true crazy self that was bursting with excitement on the inside.

Two crazy busy weeks later, we had images, interview, how to’s etc. completed – did I mention that this happened the week before the Fall Colorado Potters Guild Show?  I work well under pressure – sad but true.  Annie retreated to write the article with her usual witty, yet informative style of writing and I went on with life as I know it.

Just today, I received a voice message from Annie alerting me to the fact that Ceramic Arts Daily featured her article in its daily email – hence the first blog post in a week.  Thank you Annie & Bill Jones (editor) for including me in a great publication!   To read the full article (for those of you who don’t subscribe to PMI – which I’m guessing is quite a few), here is a link to the full text on Ceramic Arts Daily.

Meanwhile, I’ve been working on the Colorado Potters Guild website the past few days.  Progress is slow, but steady and the site is still most definitely under construction.  As a bonus, I think I’ve found a new WordPress template for myself and while I’m in web mistress mode, I might as well make a few updates around here because my template isn’t totally compatible with the new version of WordPress 2.7.

Have a good week,
