just by chance, i made 13 spoons in france without even keeping track of  how many i was making. 13 is my lucky number. i love when things like this happen.

it’s good to be back together in france with my favorite black clay. although it is a little wet this year and hard to coil build with. have you ever tried coil building with mud ? not very fun and a very slow process. so in between the waiting i’ve been making spoons. a great small item and easy to carry back with me without (hopefully) breaking. i’m planning to make a multitude of them . . .

i’ve been making a lot of spoons here in france and i think it might be inspired by all of the fabulous food i’ve been eating. the strange thing is that my spoons keep getting BIGGER. i’m hoping this has no correlation between my food intake or waist line.

“i find this pleasure so sweet and charming.”

i love spoons. i have a large collection of sorted spoons, varying in shape, size and material. the form and function of a spoon is so comforting to me. you can see more of my spoons here, here, and here.

i have a real *thing* for spoons. to me, they are very nurturing and soothing. maybe because of the sensual shape. maybe because it is the first utensil we are fed with when we are a baby. maybe because the foods we eat with a spoon are comfort foods . . . soup, oatmeal, ice cream, pudding, etc. . .


the spoon has been used as an eating utensil since the stone age. it is believed that the prehistoric people used shells or chips of wood as spoons. imagine the lip splinters . . . ouch !

i am working on a series of spoons. here are just a few of them in the greenware state. check back in a few weeks for the finished product.
