I just finished a new batch of tile mosaic jewelry boxes
Artists, like the small children we are, are usually up to something when we're silent...
I have been very busy behind the scenes working on new clay things and new business developments. I have learned that spring through early summer is the best time to explore new ideas, after I've spent the post-holiday months filling my inventory in preparation for the summer markets.
What's new? Remember that fabulous small collection of black clay things? I'm expanding that. I've hunted down some fantastic Indian wood block stamps and am hand-building a new arsenal of mugs and small bowls. When I've had enough of that (and when my next clay shipment arrives), more of the marbled bowls with bright colors are in order.
On the business side of things, I have been actively working on expanding the pottery. !! The next obvious step for ESP is a brick-and-mortar permanent venue. As that develops, hopefully over the next few months, I will give you more details. For now, send some good "make it so" energy our way!
In the meantime, I can be found at the ever-successful Ellington Farmers Market on Saturday Mornings from 9 to Noon.
