So exciting to see that another one of my students made it onto the Lillstreet Student Brag Shelves!!! Great job Colin… so glad your “last” mug turned out great before your move to San Francisco!!! We’ll all miss you… and your mugs!

So you didn’t get what you wanted for Christmas???
Time to buy yourself the perfect gift.

How about the chance to play in the mud and make some great handmade pottery???
The new class session begins on January 12th for my Tuesday night Beginning & Advanced Beginning Wheelthrowing class. Sign up now and kick off the New Year with a new class.

Last night was the “Benefit For Eric” at Lillstreet Art Center.
One of our own Lillstreet Community who is battling brain cancer and incurring a ton of hospital bills. The prognosis isn’t very good, but it was quite uplifting to see so many people pull together for this special cause. It was a nice event in the Lillstreet Gallery with food, drink, raffles and Silent Auction with all proceeds going towards Eric’s mounting medical expenses.

Luckily, I came home from the event with this beautiful woodfired bowl by Simon Levin. One last bid in the Silent Auction at “just the right time” and I was the proud winner of this stunning bowl. Thank you Simon for donating this bowl to the Silent Auction… so that I could add yet another one of your pieces to my collection! And help a good cause at the same time.

So wee more of Simon Levin’s beautiful wood-fired pottery, click here for his website.

Spiraling bricolage mosaic on the front of Lillstreet Art Center.
Can you spot the Fire When Ready Pottery stamped vase on the mandala mosaic???

Tonight I trimmed the bottoms of the tumblers.

And then added a little colored slip decoration…
accents in the stamps and around the top rim of each tumbler!

So here’s the deal…
Want one of these tumblers?!… You’ve got to go to a party!!!
Yes, I’m donating some of these tumblers for the Lillstreet Art Bash.
And the only way to get one of them is to be a VIP. So call Lillstreet or check it out online.
Tell them you’re a VIP and that you want one of my tumblers!!!

Or, even better… oh, but wait there’s more… click here to purchase your tickets online.
My tumblers will be in some of the VIP Swag Bags so you can drink your signature cocktail from one of my signature tumblers on the exclusive rooftop of Lillstreet Art Center!!!

So the ArtReach bricolage in the back hallway at Lillstreet is coming along nicely.
There was a “team” working on it this weekend. Tile. Snip. Break. Glue. Stick. Repeat.
Good to see a few of my shards have made the wall… check out the green eyeball.
