Where we are now….

It has certainly been a minute ….. or 10!

But we are still here, still making, still navigating, and overall doing well. I hope this post finds YOU doing well. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your time.

When we closed the Studio in March 2020, we went into “cocoon mode” just like the rest of the world. I was so thankful that my immediate family stayed healthy, but I did lose family members during Covid as so many of us did. It was a scary time and I truly hope that we have left those particularly dark days behind us.

Fast forward to today!

I am still able to make pottery both hand-building and on the wheel, and Hugh and I are still making fused and stained glass. I still create in the same Studio space, but we are closed to the public. A few years back, I decided to “rejoin society” and I ventured into the wonderful community that is Archwood Green Barns Farmer’s Market in The Plains, Virginia. I am now a “permanent” vendor and have a FUN horse stall INSIDE the Barn. Each week I unload my kiln and bring all sorts of wonderful, new, HOT (literally) pottery pieces with me to greet the steady flow of customers. It has been such a lovely way to reconnect with the community, with friends, with customers, and to meet a whole new group of families, pets, other vendors, and of course new customers.

I am here every Sunday, beginning April 7, 2024, from 10-2pm. Local customers follow along on either Facebook or Instagram each week, and then stop in on Sundays to see what comes out of the kiln.

I have LOTS of plans for this new website, and new blog. Thanks for following along, and if you are in town, stop by at the Barn and say hello! I will be so happy to see YOU!
