Morning Cereal & Coffee

Today's selection is a sweet little bowl made by Kari Therrien. I met Kari in NH when she was a BFA student at the NH Institute of Art. The mug is a NEW acquisition. It is a collaborative mug from the "250 Mugs on the Wall" exhibition at the NC Pottery Center. Hitomi Shibata did the deco work, Josh Floyd added the handle... I have no clue who threw the body of the mug. It is my new favorite.

We Still Make Pots

It seems like lately this is a home improvement blog, but in reality we are still making pots. Over the weekend I decorated some mugs for a fundraiser that will benefit the North Carolina Pottery Center, and Seagrove Area Potters Association. Seagrove potters worked together to throw, handle, decorate, glaze, and fire, 250 mugs. The exhibition and sale, titled "250 Mugs on the Wall", opens Saturday May 30, 2015. Opening reception on that day from 4:30 - 7:30.

 It was fun to work on mugs that others have made. If you think about it, three or four potters had a hand in making each of these mugs.

 Then of course there are always piggy bank orders to fill.

When the shop closes, it's time to head to the other house and strip paint. Needless to say, we are pretty tired these days.
