Every mug holds a story

1/11/2019

 
As I look at these mugs on my glaze table this morning, they are like little books – each one holding a story about the person who ordered it and why.

There is a pair of monarch mugs ordered as a Valentine's gift for a lady who has a butterfly garden. There is a set of "happy whale" mugs ordered by a family who is relocating to a home by the sea. And there is an "old crow" mug ordered by a man whose friend is retiring...

So many mugs were ordered during my last online event – and each one has its own personality and special destination.

Thank you to all who placed orders! Your pieces are in process... and my studio is alive with your stories!
Mug-making! So many mugs to glaze.
Mugs on the glaze table by Patricia Griffin were ordered during her last online event.

Art for fun on Highway 1

7/31/2018

 
Big welcome at Patricia Griffin's Studio and GalleryPlease stop by and visit at 1601 Main Street.
With the re-opening of Scenic Pacific Coast Highway 1 up the California coast earlier this month, our little town has been abuzz with visitors. Located mid-way between San Francisco and Los Angeles, Cambria is a little artisan village filled with big charm, boutique shops and art galleries.

When visitors enter my place, the most common reaction I get is surprise that the pottery is made in-house and that they are invited into the studio to see the work being made.

For me, it's all part of my studio practice, a circle that begins with making the work, and flows on to meeting visitors, explaining my process and helping them select a piece to take home. It's so interesting to see how people react to new collections and I often gain insights that help me improve my designs and explore new avenues.

I love connecting with studio visitors and we often stay in touch long after they've traveled on down the road. They later will shop online, commission a special order or plan a studio visit on their next stop in Cambria.

All who encourage, inspire and support my work are "Studio Friends" and I am grateful for all. Thank you!

When visitors stop by, I'm often working on a piece and they're welcome to watch the process and ask questions.
