Time to get dirty

1/15/2013

It's time to re-visit my other favorite craft... ceramics!  I dusted off my tools the other day in preparation for day 1 of ceramics class in San Francisco.  Monday morning I ventured out early, headed off to class and to meet my new instructor.  

He seems very nice... has been teaching at Fort Mason (in view of the Bay, Golden Gate Bridge, & Alcatraz) for around 20 years, and has been working in clay for over 30.  It's a different setup than I had in Los Angeles, but I'm happy that the opportunity exists for me to delve back into clay 2 days a week.

I'm prepared to head back tomorrow with my tools at-the-ready, and to remember what it is about ceramics I love so much.  (Actually, I remember very clearly - and I'm VERY happy that it's time to get dirty!)

Other news includes releasing a new colorway of hand dyed roving.  This time it's on rambouillet and is named "Sherwood".   Hand dyeing roving is a fun adventure as well - and believe me it's hard to post and sell the roving instead of spinning it myself.  (Confession:  I dyed 2 sets of this one but promptly took one to spin as a sample... it's on my wheel right now calling my name).

If you're interested in this or other rovings, check out the shop.

Last but not least, I'm really happy to announce custom dyed roving service offered through the shop.  With this service, YOU get to select your very own color combination.  Want green/purple/orange? OK.  Prefer grey/brown/tangerine? Okey-Dokey.  NEED purple/lilac/indigo?  Whatever your heart's desire, I'll be happy to make it for you.  Turnaround should be quick but I specified 5-7 business days.

Have a great week!
