That dang pear!
Remember the pear that was published in Studio Potter last month? I got a very nice letter in the mail today from Lark Books. It was chosen for the 500 Raku that will be out in Spring 2011. I wish I knew who owned that thing! It was sold through the NC Craft Gallery. This pear is sure getting a lot of time in the spotlight, kinda wish I still had it. The metal stand that it's on is from the scrap yard at the metal shop at Penland. I collected it when I took the Raku workshop there and it's really a great piece of metal. I still have that. Guess I need to make more pears!!! Thanks to Steven Forbes deSoule for this great glaze!

Woo -- congrats on the Lark book -- and how cool that they saw the image & contacted you! That's sweet! & it is a delicious pear.
Hey Judy: I had submitted the pear photo about a year ago, but I do wonder if having it published in Studio Potter influenced the choice? Gerry shot the photo and I have always liked it.
'That dang pear'..is a winner!!Congratulations, Tracey.
Congratulations, that's great news. Quite a lot of good news around at the moment. I'll look out for it.
Congrats on yet another publication! Just imagine how many requests you'll get once the book comes out! Thought about making anymore?
Thanks guys! Kari, yes I am feeling an itch to get back to some Raku, I saw orange leaves on the ground today! It will soon be cool enough to get out there and play with the fire!!!
Oooh, congrats! It is a beautiful pear.
