Been a while... still here

Well It has been almost a month since my last post. I have been fairly busy during that time, most of it hasn't been pottery related though. I have been busy getting ready for the big move/home and studio renovation. To be honest I am pretty much at the completely freaking out/wondering what I have gotten myself into stage. I have managed to work on a little pottery in that time however. I have mostly been concentrating on finishing off all of the greenware and bisqued pieces that have been stacking up so that I don't have to worry about moving a bunch of unfinished work.

 

 

Large slipped tankards/steins. These sold as quickly as I got them unpacked at the shop.

Large slip decorated "fruit bowl". Not really sure what to call it, to me it almost holds a serving of ice cream.

Some slipped one piece goblets.

Large lidded storage jar, this is another one that sold right away.

I had a total of 2 of these dinner plates that made it to the finished stage, all of the rest of the 10 original died along the way.

Large lidded casserole, this one didn't even get all of the way unpacked before it sold.

Some random bowls.

Extra large storage jar, it holds about a gallon and a half of liquid. Really like the way it turned out the picture doesn't do it justice.

Large 2 gallon jug, another one that I really like, especially the split tail on the handle.

Finally a medium sized bowl with an altered rim. I did this by pinching the rim and twisting. It was an experiment, one that I intend to conduct again.

These are the last pots that will be made in Kansas City. The next chance that I get to work on pottery will be once I am finished with the move and I have had a chance to get settled in the new place. Even then it is only going to be for the sake of keeping my sanity as I will be giving all of my concentration to getting the home remodel done.


To that end I am running a fund raising campaign on Indiegogo. Here is the link to it: http://igg.me/at/newmoonhouse/x/3772293
and here is the video that goes with it:

I hope that you will take a look, it is a really great cause as I will be using the experience to help others accomplish the same thing by showing them that almost anyone can do it. If you can donate to the campaign I would very much appreciate it. I will be giving up my full time job (potter) to make this happen and anything helps. Obviously a lot of the perks that I am offering are pottery related but not all of them, I am offering some other really great art as well. If you can't donate that is fine, I realize that these are tough times for a lot of people. You can still help however, the way that indiegogo works is that the more traffic a campaign gets, the more exposure they give it, so share the link to the campaign with family, friends, coworkers, anyone that you can think of and ask them to take a look and share it with as many people as they can as well. And to be honest if everyone donated the equivalent of 3 cups of coffee I would be a good way towards reaching my goal. Thank you for all of your help and support.

Talk to everyone soon
