It Has Been a While.....

To anyone who visits us regularly here, I know it has been a while since the last post. There was not much to report on over the last 4-5 months. With the festivals/fair season underway more will be notable in the upcoming months. One big note is regarding the Mifflin-Juniata Arts Festival which took place this past weekend(16th & 17th). It was a great weekend, except the little bit of rain, but what festival doesn't have some moisture. Sunday there were some sudden winds that caused some nearby artisans to shutter when they heard a set of shelves crashing to the ground sending pottery across the grass. Luckily only 3 pieces were damaged and they were not the best of our show pieces so no harm really. The studio was awarded the 'Best of Clay' award this year, competing against 5 other clay artisans. Also we got our first taste of Raku. There were two small vases included in the Raku demonstration that came out quite nicely.

No other scheduled events at this point, but we are searching for a few to fill out our summer season....
