I just completed this cornucopia-shaped container for a customer who wants to give it as a surprise gift to his wife. It was designed to fit a specific corner space of his newly remodeled kitchen. Our phone conversations and in-person meeting led to the form, color choice and size.
I love the symbolism of the triangular shape 'horn' and it’s association with fall and the harvest season. This time of year for me, ideas are flowing and productivity is in high gear. Pots in every stage of the making process are filling the studio. Abundance is evident throughout my creative space.
As always, my life reflects the profusion of art in the studio. As we approach the shortening of daylight, the bounty of fall and winter holidays, and the time gathered with family and friends I revel in the fortune of all that is positive in my life.
Like the horn of plenty I’ve just created in clay, my world is overflowing with so much that is good and sustaining. My goal is to keep that enthusiasm going when the inevitable stress levels get high!
Here are a few of the shows that are scheduled so you can mark on your calendar too!
I'll be in Upstate New York October 14 for this fiber-happy show with some of my yarn-related and other household items. Click on the photo for more show details!
I'll be in Columbia, Maryland for the annual Linden Hall Holiday Craft Show November 5. I'm honored to be joining this talented group of artists to display and sell my clay art! Click on photo for more show details!
If you'd like to tap in to your own holiday creativity -- here's a perfect opportunity! Students will be making a variety of clay ornaments/gift tags in this fun class sponsored by The Muse. We'll be using the same painting technique I've demonstrated in past pot-sticker and wind chime making classes! Click on photo to get class details and sign up!
