There are about a million things like this that I'm sure we all deal with. But it's nice get out of my own studio (and out of my own head) to check out what's going on in other peoples' studios. The great thing about putting this little feature together is that I don't have to go to all of their studios (though that could be ...August 27, 2008
In preparing the Month in Clay feature for September, I noticed that there were a few hotbeds of ceramic activity showing up on my radar. The Pacific Northwest was brimming with great ceramic events so I decided to include several of those. Perhaps folks in that area can coordinate some ceramics excursions and hit them all. Minneapolis, Minnesota, a notoriously clay friendly town, also had lots to do this month. Plus, I have gathered a selection of events and exhibitions from various points all around the country.July 30, 2008
