These are a few of my favorite things

Here are a few images I shot today at Claymakers. Ronan finished unpacking everything and it is all sooooo wonderful!! I don't have pictures of everything, but these are the shots that were well lit and in focus:) Above and below, work by Ronan Peterson.

Amy Sanders
Jennifer Mecca wrote a little note on the bottom of this bowl about thinking of summer camp in July, when she made the piece. I really want this bowl!! I remember her blogging about that.
Michael Kline, Bulldog Pottery in the background. My photos of Bulldog Pottery's pieces did not do them justice so I left them out. You have to see their work in person to appreciate how fabulous it is. Especially the wall pieces. Glaze genius!
Amy again, I remember when I lived in Charlotte seeing these on the bisque shelves at Clayworks and loving them. They have a very timeless quality.
Gillian Clarke, there are more great pieces by Gillian but my photos had no depth of field and portions were out of focus. Not fair to the pieces to show a bad photo! Especially with her red colors, unreal!
I also want this dish by Susan Feagin. If I were the kind of person to rip off other potters, this is the dish I would totally rip off! It is the coolest thing. Maybe I can just be influenced somehow by it.
Shoko Taruyama, exquisite...........
There is lots, lots more, come to the reception and support these amazing potters this week!!!!You can check out the info at Claymakers website, there is a link on my sidebar.

Tracey! Thanks for the pictures! I wish I could be at the opening. I've sort of fallen off the bandwagon of blogging of late, but am trying to catch up and catch up with all the blog reading as well. I'm glad you're still at it. When are we going to see you, next week? Next month? I can't remember, but I seem to recollect that you were coming our way. I hope I haven't missed you???!!!??
