2016-11-12 - Saturday - Potters of the Piedmont and Earth & Fire

Saturday was the fall Potters of the Piedmont sale in Greensboro. It was well-attended and as always, I enjoyed talking to, joking with, and explaining my process to the attendees. The day flew by and then I had to jump in the car and get back to Charlotte for the end of An Evening of Earth & Fire, Clayworks' annual fundraiser at Elder Gallery.

Not only were all the usual friends there, but Dave Timm was in from Michigan, and Rich Meredith came from Florida.

Dave is a long-time friend (notice I didn't say old!) from the infancy of Clayworks who is also one of my mentors. He always pushed me to try something new, to stretch, to reach. It was easy when watching him do it. He made it look easy, like, "why not try this?". I miss him, and his guidance and prodding. I also miss grabbing a plate of nachos with him at Lupie's on occasion.

Rich was a studio artist at Clayworks for a while when he was working in our area long-term. He is a great friend to many of us and of the studio. He's another one who makes it look easy and challenges you to follow him.

2016-11-11 - Friday - Setting up the gallery

Friday I had the honor to help Herb and Vince set up Elder Gallery for An Evening of Earth & Fire, Clayworks' annual fundraiser.

Larry Elder graciously donates his wonderful space to us for our gala. It's always a great night filled with lots of beautiful art. Unfortunately I won't be able to attend since I'll be in Greensboro on Saturday at the Potters of the Piedmont show. I will return late and hope to catch supper with the Clayworks crew.

Saturday I participated in the Potters of the Piedmont sale in Greensboro. It was my second time at the spring show and it was a good experience. This sale is becoming a very solid venue. People are getting the word about it and the traffic flow was constant all day.

2015-04-11 - Saturday - Potters of the Piedmont

Saturday I drove to Greensboro for the Potters of the Piedmont show. It was a good show and attendance was very good. The Leonard Recreation Center is a nice location and I look forward to going back again for another show.

I met several nice people during the show including a couple that recently purchased one of my pots from Pottery 101. I'm definitely getting out there into the world.

2015-04-10 - Friday - Packing for Greensboro

Friday night I packed the van to go to Greensboro for the Potters of the Piedmont show on Saturday. It's a full load and I have to drive almost two hours to get there. It's going to be a long day tomorrow and I ain't gettin' any younger. Wish me luck!

Meanwhile the Spring continues. The hazelnuts are leafing out and as usual, the right one is late.

A side note: I love the current gas prices and BJ's prices are even better.
