New ETSY Stuff!!!!

2010-02-10T13:34:00.000-08:00

So I recently added some items to etsy. Some more of my tried and true mini square plates in really fun colors and designs. I am really excited about my little bud vases that I have added. They are just perfect for pansies, which is a flower I love to cut but is too small for most vases! They are a ton of fun for me to make and I am looking forward to the challenge of making a really large version for the Ceramic Showcase in a few months. Check it out and hopefully you find something you like!!

The great plate debate!

2010-01-22T11:13:00.000-08:00

Well it has finally begun. I have now surpassed 100 plates made for my big commission. Only a mere 500 more to go! I'm sure I'll be going crazy around the 250 mark, but if I can get through this it will be the biggest order I have ever done. I'm excited to be doing this and it will be a big accomplishment for me to focus on just one thing for that long. On another note, I have finally sold something from ETSY! It makes me happy to see that someone from Texas that I don't even know found little ole me in Oregon and bought some of my stuff! Hopefully it will only continue to bring success. I am going to try and be a better blogger this year as well. It is not easy for me to set aside time to be on the computer, but I am determined! Here's to a new year!

Holiday 06 Sale

2006-11-20T10:14:00.000-08:00

Ok people! It is that time of year again when artist's crawl out of the woodwork and invite you into their studios for a sale!! I will be no exception this year. Ron Linn, Bob McIlhattan, and I will be having our annual sale out on Bob's property in Gresham. It's the same format as last year which means it will be two weekends long so that we can fire the wood fire kiln. The only difference this year will be that I will actually have something in the kiln this time!! I have a new body of work that I am really excited about, as well as some wall pieces, which is a departure from the usual for me.

So please join us
Saturday & Sunday
December 2-3 & 9-10
10AM to 6PM
24709 SE Rugg Rd
Gresham, OR 97080

or...

By Appointment

We will unload the kiln on Saturday December 9th!

Spring Sale Over

2005-05-01T20:40:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to thank all those who came out to see me last Saturday. I am told that this year's spring sale was relatively successful. I have never done it before, so I have nothing to compare it too. I feel as though it was worth my seven hours of hanging out at Rimsky's Korsacoffee house. It pleases me to know that there are many people out there who support artists like myself. Thanks again!!

2005-04-29T14:45:00.000-07:00

Check out Kristy's new work tomorrow, one day only.

Unrelated to the sale, I have started exploring a new building process and am currently working on some purely sculptural work--a big change for me! It's exciting and I'll keep y0u posted.
