I have been spending a little (not enough) time photographing my latest teapots. Shooting in natural light lately… when it’s cloudy it’s a good day to photo, tomorrow should be rainy… need to stop throwing pots and take some photos!
Here is my short stout one!

Last week I posted my baby teapots (two pounds). This week I made momma teapots (four pounds). Some people only want two cups, some need to have four to five cups. I just like making teapots… doesn’t matter what size! Actually the only issue I have is with the larger ones… pulling the handle off the pot… it gets rather tiring after you’ve done a few of them.

I’m sitting here drinking a glass of sangria left over from my last class of the Fall semester. Yes, we drink in my classes… well not really, but sometimes on a last class someone brings in some wine to share with the food goodies we have at the end of every semester! Tonight my advanced class (aka Big Girl Pottery Class) finished up their glazing, and ate goodies, mostly of the Italian nature… artisan bread dipped in garlic olive oil (in my garlic grate bowl), marinated artichoke hearts that Dawn brought from Frigo’s Italian Deli in Springfield, and scrumptious olives from Greenfield’s Market. I made an Italian sausage and bean vegetable soup… and then cookies, and more cookies from the bakers in class. And of course Darlene’s very tasty sangria and fruit!
I really appreciate all my students, and I love the cycle of teaching them… and learning from them. For me, teaching is an integral part of my pottery.
Feels like the busy season is winding down. It’s time for learning more about my new camera, and taking some good photo’s of my work! Here is one from last night… working on getting the white balance just right… almost there… a little more tweaking!

This weekend is my Open Studio/Holiday Sale… actually fellow Greenfield potter, and friend, Tiffany Hilton and I decided to have our sales the same weekend… We figured why not advertise together, put our mailing lists together for the post card, and call it a tour. So I sent in some information to the local paper and called it, ” A Tour of Two Potters” ( kinda catchy, huh) well the paper obviously liked it, and wrote a nice blurb using that as the title, with a subtitle, ”Two excellent Greenfield potters” - along with a photo of my teapots in process! Oh and speaking of blurbs… the December issue of Ceramics Monthly gave the, “Homegrown for the Table” show at Pinch in Northampton a little write-up, with a photo of my work!
Here is a taste of what you will see at my studio this weekend!

Wooo-hooo! … a nice kiln firing with teapots. Here are the teapots glazed, and ready for the firing… and 32 hours later, barely cool enough to take out of the kiln!
Yes, these will be available at this weekend’s Holiday Open Studio Sale!

Last week I posted the bamboo handle teapots in “All Dressed Up”. This teapot came out of the kiln the day before the sale and I was too busy to photograph it. Well wouldn’t you know it sold Saturday afternoon of the Pottery Trail. I’ve never done this before, but I asked the customer if she had five extra minutes for me to take some photos. They are a bit rushed, but at least I can remember how it was glazed!
