Good morning.

I’m not a morning person and never have been. Yet can be when I have to, a ski day, a trip, or important meeting.

Last time I visited my brother he made coffee and started talking, questions I could not compute, my response “did you see this touch my lips” ?

We both laughed, and allowed the coffee to do her magic, then easing into simple dialogue...

The speed of the wheel, I drive with a heavy foot too, hands becoming one with the clay, the bonzos accompanied by rude words as clay flies across the room. The satisfaction of clean up. Then painting and decorating with glazes and experimental design. And of course the joy in creating something close to what I’d hope for and intended. Thank you Shivaun for patiently teaching he who refuses to listen.

It’s a pleasure to explore and discover. And to learn from others.

These cute whale mugs came from level two, creating five identical pieces.
