| Summer 2008 In this Newsletter: Open Studio Sale and Show Schedule - A Becca Pot Is Published! Local Food Dinner Plate Project - Ongoing Studio Hours Summer is in full swing . . . perhaps you're feeling the pleasant frenzy that makes up a New England summer, busily trying to pack in all of the fun outdoor activities and amidst ongoing work and commitments . . . it's no different here at the studio! Ah, the joys of a seasonal business. :) I'm hard at work making and firing pots for my favorite summer craft shows, continuing to fill countless orders, and working on new ideas and projects . . . it all amounts to a very exciting time. I hope to see you in the coming weeks! Open Studio Sale and Summer Show Schedule This weekend, July 5th and 6th, marks my biannual Open Studio Sale! I'll be opening a kiln on Saturday morning and baking tasty things for you to enjoy while you check out the new pots . . . there are lots of ideas for gifts (wedding, graduation, birthday) and lots of beautiful things for YOU to add to your collection (flower vases, serving pieces, and new mugs). I'll be open from 10am to 5pm both days, rain or shine! The studio is always lovely and cool . . . :) directions to Open Studio Sale Also, I'm preparing for a big weekend at the Yarmouth Clam Festival in Maine, July 18th- 20th, and my favorite, the League of NH Craftsmen's Annual Fair, August 2- 10th. More info on dates, locations, booth numbers here A "Becca Pot" is Published! This might be a first! The lovely, colorful 500 Plates and Chargers: Innovative Expressions of Function and Style, showed up on my doorstep yesterday, with page 242 graced by one of my "Stone Plates" . . . if you like pottery at all, (and chances are, if you're reading this, you do!) this series by Lark Ceramics Books is one you should definitely check out. Silly me, I was going to link to Amazon, but thought better of it: ask for it at your local, independent bookstore! Local Food Dinner Plate Project I'm excited to be involved in the first- ever "Fields on the Saco" . . . my local Chamber of Commerce, the Mount Washington Valley Chamber, is throwing a very special culinary event on September 6th of this year, intended to bring out the best food from our wonderful local farms, as prepared by local chef Bryan Alden . . . amidst the open fields, you'll listen to live music, and look forward to receiving a hand-made dessert plate with my signature "stones" to keep as your own! (100 of you makes for 100 plates; guess I'd better get to work . . .) Learn more about the feast! Ongoing Studio Hours My studio and gallery will be open, albeit somewhat sporadically, throughout the summer and into the fall. The BEST place to find my most current hours is always right here on the website. When I'm not away at a show, I try to be here for you . . . and as always, please feel free to just call to see if I'm around when the timing works for you!!! Studio Hours As always, thank you so much for all of your support and encouragement, and enjoy your summer! Fondly, Missed something?
