Marichelle from Heart Handmade interviewed me earlier this summer and the interview is now up. You can read it here. I am afraid I got kind of wordy but her questions were so interesting and thought provoking. I hope you can take a few minutes and check it out.
The photo above is from a hike we took recently up the slope near our house - actually the Sherwood Ski Lift at Alpine Meadows. We have less than two weeks left of our mountain summer. I will miss the pine smell in the air, the sound of the wind in the trees, our morning bike rides up Blackwood Canyon. It's been great having friends and family come up for a visit. But I am ready to rejoin the action of our urban life and I'm REALLY ready to get back to work at fourth & clay. Let the glazing begin!

I found you through the interview! I like you and YOUR WORK IS GREAT!
PS my daughter's name is also Josie
I am wondering-do you use paper clay or something for your roses to lighten the weight of the bowl?
I don't use paper clay - but that's a great idea! The rose pieces do tend to be a little weighty but I try to keep the base bowls and vases light and this helps a little. Also I roll the roses fairly thin and fan them out as I roll them That way they cover a bit more space.
Josie - What a great interview. I really enjoyed reading about your thoughts on being a not-for-profit artist. I'm in the same boat, and consider myself so fortunate to be able to develop ideas and not be under the gun all the time. Thanks for your openness and being so willing to share ideas, processes, solutions.
