Headless Horseman rides again!

9/30/2018

 

Scarecrow Festival is underway!

The annual Scarecrow Festival is underway and Cambria is chock-full of new residents!

​Franz Affentranger is the creator of The Headless Horseman, now residing in front of my studio gallery at 1601 Main Street. Franz was the mastermind, with help from Vicki Affentranger, son Joe, and neighbors Patti and James Barrett. Come check it out!

It must look like a hot mess in my studio

9/26/2018

 

Three ways of working – all at the same time!

To visitors, it must look like a hot mess at times. I'm moving from one thing to the other, often jumping mid-stream in the making of one collection to take care of the next step in the other.
When my online store goes live today, you'll see three different collections of work – all of them featuring surface design, but each in a very distinct way.

It's been such fun to cycle through the different ways of making. To visitors, it must look like a hot mess at times. I'm moving from one thing to the other, often jumping mid-stream in the making of one collection to take care of the next step in the other.

Because clay work is sequential and must be attended to at the "right" time of dryness/stiffness in the process, there will be days when nothing is finished and I'm just moving things a little bit further along.

It's also why this new update to my online shop features smaller collections than in the past. I am focusing on smaller collections, but updating more often so that my Studio Friends will have more frequent opportunities to see and purchase.

​I hope you'll check it out!

Register now for your workshop in 2019

9/6/2018

 

Join me for two days of fun!

Workshop Fun!Celeste and her granddad, Tom Dowlan
If you'd like to join me for a two-day workshop, it's time to register for a session in 2019! The first sessions of the year are now open.

Plan a get-away with family members or friends, or come solo and take  yourself on a creative adventure! Sessions are all held in my studio in Cambria, a beautiful artisan village on the central coast of California.

Beginners are welcome! No experience is necessary – just a desire to have a fun time learning and making together. Please note that the workshop is designed for adults. The youngest age is 14, accompanied by a parent or guardian who is also taking the workshop.

We'll be working with clay in its "green" state, before it's been fired. I'll guide you step-by-step through the process of surface decoration and you'll create your own pieces. 

In addition to the workshops below, I also have two openings for private groups of 1-11 participants. Gather a group of friends, family or co-workers and reserve one of these weekends: Feb. 23-24 or March 2-3. We'll tailor the session to your group and make it a special time for all. More information HERE on Private Groups.

2019 WORKSHOPS - Two-Day Sessions
Session #1: Thursday and Friday, Jan. 31-Feb. 1
Session #2: Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 2-3
Session #3: Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 16-17
​Session #4: Monday and Tuesday, Feb. 18-19

I just had to write to tell you how happy I was to have spent this time in your studio.  What a happy, inspirational place to create!... Since my boys were born, I have good intentions of making "me" time but hardly ever do.  I am SO thankful that I set aside the time and committed to this class.
- Victoria Taylor
You do an amazing job inspiring and efficiently teaching all levels of ability. It was a super workshop all around, I learned so much from you!
