Vessel Sink


I love this vessel sink! So much that I would love to keep it. Unfortunately it doesn't fit in with our 1960's brick ranch style house. Jeff threw the bowl on the wheel using stoneware clay. The cobalt brushwork was applied when the clay was leather hard. He fired the vessel sink in the salt chamber of STARworks wood kiln. The end result it reminiscent of the pottery Jeff made while working production in New Hampshire for both Salmon Falls Pottery and Northwood Pottery.

Hello December!

Image
Here we are in the first week of December and yesterday we woke up to this... There was about 2" of snow and then freezing rain all day. We heard tree branched cracking all day. Some of our shrubs and bushes are leaning over. I hope my camellias aren't damaged. The fan on our heat pump was encased in ice started making a thumping sound. Jeff shut it off, de-iced the fan and covered the unit. We are fortunate to also have electric baseboard heat as a back up. We knew the heat pump would ice up again quickly. It's a new unit and we didn't want to take any chances in damaging the motor. There was a lull in the storm overnight but more freezing rain was predicted for the early morning. We woke up to snow instead. I will take snow over freezing rain any day... but I truly prefer the sunshine. It's holiday crunch time for us. While I would have loved to spend a snow day snuggled up on the sofa with a book, it just wasn't in the cards. Jeff and I spent the day glazing...

Exhibition at Sand Hills Community College

Image
There was a bright spot in our life last week! Jeff and I were invited to participate in an exhibition at Sandhills Community College in Southern Pines, NC. Sandhills is Jeff's alma mater and it was exciting for him to go back and see how the college has grown and changed since the late 70's. Our work is being show along with large scale paintings by Bucky Benson. The show is in the Hastings Gallery, located in the Boyd Library building. It's a really nice space, and Jeff was able to set up the pedestals and pottery. This show is the first collaborative effort between the college and the Arts Council of Moore County. The exhibition runs until November 1, 2018. Please stop in if you are in the area. Hastings Gallery of Art, Katharine L. Boyd Library at Sandhills Community College 3395 Airport Rd, Pinehurst, NC 28374 Free Admission
