The Verse by the Side of the Road

Ok, here is some vintage for you.... When we were young in the MidWest, Burma Shave had an advertising gimmick of posting jingles along the highway... spacing the words on sequential signs so you'd search for the next sign.
Fast forward to 2014 when Steve and Cherie decide to have their driveway redone in time for the annual Saugerties Artists Tour but the pavers schedule gets delayed and they end up finishing it two days beforehand. Now those of you that don't know and we didn't, black top driveways need time to set up. If you turn the wheels of your car on soft blacktop, it leaves a permanent dent/ridge/bump.
So...... we had to request that our customers walk up our long driveway. Feeling a bit guilty, Steve made up a jingle which we posted along the way to make the travel lighter.....

Join us for the annual Saugerties Artists Tour!

Today and tomorrow from 10-6 along with 33 other local studios!!

Final Firing Finale

We did it!! Repaired the broken exhaust fan and glazed the final orders.
Here are the last of the double/triple petals to be fired this year:

We have truly been blessed this year. We are grateful for you all and your support as well as the good fortune of being profiled in the 'American Bungalow' magazine this past fall. Thank you all very much!!!

Some of our last minute efforts are paying off.....

Late Fall Doubles

Now that Daylight Savings Time has vanished and the cold wind is starting to whip through the bare trees here, I have some photos to show you. Steve worked on another series of Double Petals pieces and although they are not all fired, it seems like a long time since I've posted. Most of the production pieces went into gallery orders.
Some photos of our firings first:

And then the close ups of the double petals:

We resisted the temptation to use different glazes... it is difficult. However, our matt green glaze just can't be beat for its ability to break lighter on the sculpted edges and provide a lovely subtle visual texture. Other glazes interfere with the form too much.

I'm sure you noticed too that the piece in the first closeup actually has three sections.

Long Park's Art & Craft Festival

This weekend will find Steve and our pots at the 35th annual Long Park's Art and Crafts Festival in Lancaster, PA. It is a beautiful setting around a pond on an old farm bequeathed to the city a while ago. The gate/entrance fee to the show raises funds to provide free outdoor entertainment all summer.
The 200 artists displaying their work are top quality and well worth seeing. Come see us in space #306! More information is available online at http://www.longspark.org/artinfo.html
