After
a change in Venue, Goals and Plans, I have my studio. Though one thing
comes to mind. Be careful what you wish for. My goal was to clean out
the basement and make my pottery studio there. It has drainage, and
power for a wheel and kiln. Though as I was working this out an
opportunity came along and offered me another way to go, and i jumped at
it.
My
uncle, a fellow potter, wanted to start a pottery studio and school. We
are renting from family a small house that we have moved in wheels,
kilns and much much more. This week was our Grand Opening and I can not
say that I am in any way disappointed.
As
a wonderful way to round out our week of festivities I was placed in
charge of a local pottery event when the former hosts moved out of the
area and passed the torch. This Saturday we will be holding a show and
sale with all of our studio potters and a number of other local ceramic
artists.
All
of this said I feel like a new person, I get the thrown nearly every
day. I will be teaching again soon, and to make things even better I
will be showing my pieces. There has been a shift in my being. I have
found my center (pottery pun) and feel like I can breath again, as though I had been holding my breath. While I
may be covered in clay, I have a big smile on my face.
