i’m doing some fall cleaning in the studio and will be selling random things that i find. starting with these chunky napkin rings . . .
see them here.
although i am TRYING not to do any more production work, i couldn’t pass up an order for one of my FAVORITE museums in the country . . . the ISABELLA STEWART GARDNER MUSEUM in boston. these 600 rocks, in progress, will be available at the beautifully curated museum store, and i personally made each one.
these plates are the first product that i made 17 years ago (which launched my clay career) and i am still making + selling them to this very day. i guess you could say they are my signature item. and although my work has evolved in so many other ways, these plates have remained exactly the same for all of these years. this batch is going to the gallery shop at the palo alto cultural center.
i was very honored to have been included in THE BEST OF 500 CERAMICS, a wonderful new book published by lark crafts. i made this teapot in 2000. it was named after a very dear and special dog friend of mine, mr. wong . . . woof.
i’m setting up my show today for this weekend’s ACGA festival in palo alto. i’m bringing a herd of these vessels that i made in france + a few teapots. mind you, it was no small feat getting these home from france. i knew my suitcase would be “over weight,” but when i hoisted it on the scale, the ticket agent was mortified. “NO NO NO, THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE” she kept saying over and over. i had to open my suitcase right there and then to lighten it’s load (embarrassing, yes). i ended up having to hand carry 15 lbs of ceramics on the plane and was still charged $75 for an overweight bag.
the only other thing in my suitcase, aside from my tiny pile of clothes, was 8 jars of caviar. i even left 2 pairs of shoes in france and shipped a box of books, heavy leather bag, and coat home. it’s times like these that i wish i was a jeweler and NOT a ceramic artist.
(p.s. the box that i shipped home made it there door to door in ONE WEEK. amazing. i think it must have been on the same flight that i was on !)
