Today is my husband’s birthday, and I am making cheesecake…yum! While it is baking, though, I wanted to post a few more pictures from the Mountain State Art and Craft Fair and better photos of my newest work:
I was so, so happy with how the new coral color came out. And, it turned out to be my biggest seller this year. So, I am very happy you all loved it, too! I will be making more, for both Tamarack and my Etsy Shop. Look for new pieces to be available in the coming weeks.
A closer look at my display from the MSACF.
And, finally, me demonstrating at the MSACF. I loved my new location this year…right beside the lake. It was gorgeous! I hope to keep the same spot in years to come, so look for me there next year, too!
Well, I need to go chill the cheesecake!
Have a great Fourth of July weekend everyone!

What a busy week! With FestivALL over and one more day left of the Mountain State Art and Craft Fair, I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I would like to thank everyone who came out to the fairs this year. It was wonderful to see some of you again and to meet so many new people. I hope everyone who attended had a terrific time!
Here is a picture of my display at FestivALL (And no, I didn’t know I was in the photograph…):
And at the Mountain State Art and Craft Fair:
Well, if you haven’t made it out to the Mountain State Art and Craft Fair yet, I hope to see you tomorrow!
Thank you again to everyone—you made it a wonderful fair season!

Happy Mother’s Day everyone!
Wow, it has been one crazy year so far, which is why I have been MIA . Let me just start off by saying, I am so sorry to anyone who has placed a special order or wanted to peruse my Etsy shop since Christmas. I have been very, very behind since New Year’s. Not because I haven’t been making pots like mad, but because my kiln was broken from January 1 to the middle of April. Long and very frustrating story short, my kiln is FINALLY fixed and (knock on wood) working perfectly. However, it has taken me several weeks to get caught up on all my firing. I am now one firing short of being back on track, though! Yay!
In other news, I have been working on a new floral design! It will be making its formal debut at Earline Allen’s, my university professor, Retrospective Show at Gallery 842 in downtown Huntington, West Virginia. Mrs. Allen is retiring from Marshall University, and her Retrospective Show will feature her own work, as well as the work of some of her students. I am so honored that my work will be a part of it. Here is the piece I will have on display:
If you are interested in attending the opening reception, it will take place May 27, 2011. Gallery 842 is located on 4th Avenue in Huntington, WV.
I am also still teaching handbuilding classes at Capitol Clay Arts in Charleston Thursday nights from 6:00 to 8:30. If you are interested in taking the class, please contact Mike or Karen Garnes at 304-720-9851.
Have a terrific Mother’s Day!

Happy Holidays everyone!
I am so excited to announce that I will be teaching Introduction to Handbuilding at Capitol Clay Arts in Charleston, West Virginia beginning January 13, 2011! The four week course will be held Thursday evenings from 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm. The cost is $75.00, which includes 25 lbs. of clay, use of the studio’s glazes, and all firings, as well as instruction. In class we will be creating slab, coiled, and pinch pots. We will also be exploring a variety of decoration techniques. Below is an example of handbuilding. The piece is a slab built pitcher I made several years ago:
If you are interested in taking the class, please contact Capitol Clay Arts for more information. You can check out their website at www.capitolclayarts.com or call 304-720-9851.
Over the holidays, I will be finishing up several completely new pieces. I will be ringing in the new year by sharing my new designs with you, so be sure to check back in 2011! Until then, have a safe and happy holiday season!

Hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving holiday!
I am in the middle of finishing up a few Christmas orders, so this entry will be short and sweet. I will be posting again soon, though, as I will have exciting news to share!
Today, though, I just wanted to let everyone know about Wonderful WV Magazine. This month’s issue features the Tamarack Foundation, which is an organization geared towards helping West Virginia artisans achieve. As I have been lucky enough to be one of those artisans, my pottery is also featured in the story. If you would like to check out the article itself, please visit http://www.wonderfulwv.com/sub.cfm?month=dec10&fea=2.
I would like to end with a great big THANK YOU to everyone at the Foundation!
Until next time,
Lindsay
