Penland and Odyssey

Amyrillis progress report, noon, Jan. 9,2013

 Penland in the rain in the winter.

Penland winter 2012 - This is the dining hall, called The Pines
Odyssey Studio, closed for the holidays
We drove by Odyssey, in Asheville, to check out the rumour that they were closing.  They were closed for the holidays, and I have since then determined they are still in operation.  The Clay Club held an Olympics there for their meeting January 9.  Notification of this event wasn't published until this week, and that's too short a notice for me to go to things.  But they do have a meeting the 2nd Wed. of the month, usually.  I should just pencil it onto my calendar, because they have great pot luck food, along with the camaraderie of professional potters in the area.

Blogger keeps saying it has made errors.  I'm quitting trying to blog today.

TRAC Gallery Clay Club show

I have my work in a gallery!  As a sometime member of the Clay Club of Western North Carolina, I was pleased to join other members in displaying my pottery pieces at this show.




Lidded bottle, 18 inches tall


The big bottle with a lid is one of my pieces at The TRAC Gallery in Spruce Pine, NC.  The other piece is a vase with 2 handles.
 The color is more deep bronze tones than these yellowish ones.  I'm still working on my camera.

The opening last Sat. evening was a lovely party, with many familiar Clay Club faces.  I wasn't there in time to be part of John  Britt's video of the clay on display.

When I told my son I would like to have this on my resume, he scoffed, and said "A resume at 70?"  

Well, why not?

Thanks for reading and all your comments.  As I'm on the road periodically this week, it may take a while before I can post them.
