Flower Farm in Loomis, Ca!!

You can now check out my tamer ceramics at the Flower Farm Nursery in Loomis, just north of Sacramento in Ca. I have a few korean Teacups there and a yarn bowl or two. None too monstery to fit the area :)
This is a great little coffee shop, nursery, local artist's store and Bed and Breakfast. Enough stuff there? Yeah, I would say it is just about right. They make a mean iced mocha, too!

Penguins aplenty!

Made these for a custom order. I made 3 extras, but I think I may keep one for myself ;)

Korean teacup set! coming soon...

Here is the greenware of the Korean teacup sets that I threw last week. They should be all done and out of the kiln in about 2 weeks.

MAKER FAIRE!

Don't forget! Maker Fair this weekend in San Mateo!
Ochibo and Skeletal Dropkick will be there with Wear Yeti! Much fun!!

That garlic demon...

Well. One of them died in the bisque fire. It is my educated guess that I did not let it dry out enough. Someday, I may learn that lesson... but, you do get to see how nicely I am throwing lately. Those are some pretty even walls.


And then there is the surviving piece...

Kiln Load OUT!

Those things I had a pic of in the last post? They are done :) The ones on the left are already sold, some of the ones on the right will be listed on Monday in the shop. salt cellars a-plenty!

Today's throw

Threw this stuff this morning. The big domes with a hole in the top are Yarn bells. Not sure that they will be better than a yarn bowl, but I will test them out when they are done :)

The Renegade fair in S.F. !

Before the crowds...

And after...



The San Francisco Renegade Craft Fair was a whole lotta fun! There were almost too many booths as it took about an hour to even sort of peruse half of it and even then I saw people with really cool stuff that I missed. I also met some great crafters from as far away as New York! Yay!
There were also a whole lotta people there, mostly on Saturday. Word of advice for future fairs: Show up right at opening time, there was barely anyone around until about 1.5 hours after it opened...

PS: that rockin' peacock feather dress is by Wear Yeti, whom I shared a booth with. Go check them out...

MAKER FAIRE!

You really should go to this. It is amazing, inspiring and fun to see what everyone can make. I will be throwing clay at 11am and again at 4 pm. I will also be showing people how to make a slump mold bowl at 4:30 PM each day. I will be in the Expo Hall (marked on the maker map as "Maker Made Stage"), booth #276. I will be throwing 2 times a day and demo-ing slump molds 1 a day. Yipee! If you can make it, you really should go, the fair is freaking amazing!

Ochibo and Skeletal Dropkick will be at the Handmade Parade this weekend, May 23rd from 11am to 5pm at Giovanni Hall at 1333 58th street in Sacramento. Many vendors and a lot of fun! Be sure to go!
