OPEN STUDIOS- 9/25-26

This year I will take part in the 2nd annual city- wide open studios
in Beacon. There are 80 artists taking part.

At the left is a shot of the gallery at Hudson Beach Glass, a very
interesting place, an old firehouse which is now a working glass
studio, shop and gallery. In their gallery this month, they are
displaying one piece from each participating artist. Maps and
artists' cards are available at the gallery.

READYMADE

Recently, READYMADE MAGAZINE did a spot on Clay, Wood & Cotton.
Some of my pots were featured in the photo they took, and the writer
mentioned my mugs! If you are in the area, and have not visited, you
really must. They have a delightful array of gifts for the home, and
also carry an assortment of yarns for knitting. (Craft classes
are held on weekends, and there is a "craft night " most Thursdays.

Garrison Art Fair-The calm before the storm!

This was taken Saturday. In all my years of doing this show-
the nicest weather. The next day, I left the camera home-
the forecast was for rough weather.

The day ended with us clinging to the tent in raging wind and rain
(several inches fell in a few hours), while hurriedly packing up the
pots; amazingly, people came earlier and bought!

BROOKLYN SHOW!

It will be great next Sunday, July 11th,
to be doing an event with other potters.
There will be various demos, as there is
a working studio in this large arts complex,
housed in a former factory.

Also it is two blocks from the Park Slope Farmers Market, which is set up on
Fifth Avenue. There is a website set up for the market; it is ceramicsbrooklyn.com.

SUMMER POTTERY SALE!

We have referred to this as the the"solstice sale" for the past three years,
but it's still the same thing-our annual sale, featuring older work, discontinued items, samples, all well-priced-along with newer work
in the front gallery, and Nancy's full production line.

We hope you will join us for tea, cookies, etc.

This year we are very pleased to have with us two other potters-

local potter Pangea Bohl, and Paul Boucher, of Manhattan,

The event will take place at Nancy Bauch's studio. It is located at 11 Peekskill Road, off rte.301,
in Cold Spring. Hours are : Friday, June 4th, 12-9
Saturday, June 5th, 10-5
Sunday, June 6th, 12-5

GOING TO AUSTIN!

Well, my pots are, that is.

CLAY, WOOD & COTTON is taking the show
on the road this weekend.
Please stop by if you are in the area.

SPRING!

While out on a walk, and surveying storm damage around my neighborhood,
I happened upon a great pile of branches heaped outside one house on my
street. They included fat, fuzzy, gray buds. I helped myself to a small
handful, and put them in water. This was what emerged!

SPRING?

This was taken about two weeks ago, near my studio.
There are sightings reported of blooming snowdrops,
and crocus; however, most of my spring bulbs are
in my back garden, which is a "sunken garden" and is still under
2-4" of snow.
