Cabbagetown Clay and Glass Works fundraising event.

Carla and Heather have been just amazing at organizing a fund-raising event for our studio. If you are in the Atlanta area, please come out and enjoy some yummy food for a good cause. Purchase tickets or donate HERE.

Thank you for all the well-wishes. It means a great deal to me! I really appreciate all the support and positive vibes!

Ummm...yeah.

This is what a studio co-op looks like when it gets hit by a truck. In case you were wondering.

A car hit a truck, then the truck hit the corner of our building. Fortunately nobody was hurt. Just lots of broken pottery.

As it turns out, the space next to ours was empty. Our landlady was kind enough to let us move some equipment and work into the space. Hopefully we will be able to set-up temporary shop there until re-construction is complete.

I see lots of hard work in our near future!

More pictures of the destruction here. Thanks Heather!

...SALE...

I'm getting over-run by pots. And really would like to clear out some older work to make room for new work. So help a gal out! Check here for deals.

One busted cakestand.

Results from the "pop" in the kiln. Much more destructive to the cakestand than I imagined. But, amazingly, nothing else was hurt. I've never seen anything this demolished from a bisque kiln!

(Upside-down cake stand in the background is what those shards are supposed to look like...)

Kiln avoidance.

Normally, I am excited to open a kiln and pull things out of it. But not today. I fired a bisque kiln yesterday, with 2 custom cake stands (I must be a glutton for punishment) and a set of custom bowls. About 4 hours into it, I hear a load "pop." This sort of tragedy is rare at our studio. Very rare. So I didn't even recognize what it was. Until about 20 minutes later. So I got freaked and peaked in the kiln. It was a cake stand. I could see that it was totally busted. Hopefully there aren't too many other casualties. But I'd much rather wait until tomorrow to find out. No reason to rush the pain.
