Potters & Sculptors - Making Rock from Mud
Vases
A few weeks ago while we were selling at the Santa Barbara Arts And Crafts Show (every Sunday at the beach). A young fellow came up to me. He leaned over my wrapping table and said "I would like to sell your work at the American Museum of Ceramic Art's Gift Store. Would you be interested?:"
In a nanosecond!
His name is Rody Lopez, Associate Curator.
We delivered some workl to AMOCA a couple of weeks ago.
Thanks, George for posting those mug images with the C. Harris Temmoku. That glaze was on the piece that stood out (the one on the left).
Yeah, I'm pretty proud but, I have to start to really work now.
The piece on the right has SCM on the upper part and sprayed overall with Randy's Red (Spanish RIO).

Congratulations! It is wonderful when a fellow artist is recognized for his pottery. Exposure like this could jumpstart a nice income. ( I also like the glaze) Best Wishes Tracy Lynn
