I was finally able to upload pictures today!  So here are some pictures of Plum Tree Pottery, where I  am resident artist for 2009-2010.   

Plum Tree Pottery is a very green place, or at least it was back in September.   











John Glick stands behind some newly made arches of clay.  We mix the clay slightly wet, then roll it into logs and bend the logs into arches to dry.




















Me at the wheel, taken from behind my then empty shelves.

















The show room, where John sells a large portion of his work.  





















This is the throwing area for the resident; standing soldner wheel with a back support, lots of bats, shelves, and a wedging table. On the other side of the shelves is a treadle wheel, for trimming. A sweet set up for sure.
    By this time the shelves are full of pots. (time to fire soon!)  




























A view of the soda kiln building in foreground, then L-R, the old studio/show room, gas kiln room, and new studio.   Everything is so green in this photo, you can tell it was taken a while ago.   At the moment the grass is covered in recently fallen leaves.

Hey Ms. Jones! What were you doing over near that end of the soda kiln shed?? I wouldn't go over there if I were you!! ;) ha! I hope y'all are planning a happy Thanksgiving. I'm guessing there will be plenty of fresh-made delicious bread from hands of the Albatross.

Hope the potting at Plum Tree is going wonderfully.

Happy Holidays!
