every day in france i walked on streets that had these markings and i would always feel drawn to them . . .

it was no surprise that they eventually showed up on my work !

i love all of the textures on the streets here in the south of france. it is the perfect backdrop for my work.

i was VERY pleased to learn that this teapot i made will be in the new lark 500 TEAPOTS book due out in august. i made this teapot in france and hand carried it back with me. this one is very dear to my heart.

i made this teapot in france last year. it was inspired by the beautiful foliage in the south of france (one of my favorite places on earth). a gentleman, who lives in germany, saw this teapot, and asked if i would make and sell him just the leaves . . .

here are some of the 300 porcelain leaves i made for his equisite jewelry store in munich, germany. it was actually very meditative making each leaf by hand. i will definitely be adding these to my clay repertoire. i just love how some things evolve.

yixing teapots are so beautiful in their simplicity and functionality. my sister, who lived in china for a number of years, has a huge collection of them. did you know that traditionally, some Chinese would pour the tea from the spout directly into their mouths ? i love that visual.

though i fully intended to start my hiatus this year, i have been immersed in the studio working on collaborations with diva, jess, and terrain. i’ve never collaborated before, as i am the proverbial lone potter, but i am finding huge satisfaction in it. who knew ?
