I have many pieces going in for a bisque fire and a handful of others into a glaze fire in the upcoming days, including a large version of the tuck pot, this one with a separate saucer, and 2 pierced votive designs from the furrow collection (with interior color!!). Expect more (quantity and variety) of pieces up next week for sale on etsy.

I’m feeling a little silly now that I’ve spoken with retailers – launching a new line in January is probably the worst choice of months but alas – I was just so excited to get the work that has been percolating for months out there. I know we’re all worrying about the economy and our financial futures (I’m currently planning my wedding for the fall – not the most affordable of events generally or ever) so buying objects right now might seem a bit frivolous to some. However, I am true believer in supporting the small hardworking ones among us and will continue to do so, if for no other reason than being around beautiful things that I love makes me feel just a little bit better. It’s all about the little guys.

Images from the collection are finally up — All but two pieces from the Askew collection and the first finished piece from Furrow are live on the collection page. Yipee! As I’m now waiting for my clay order to arrive from Tacoma, I won’t have the rest of the work or back stock for a few more weeks. Clay comes Thursday and I’ll be a madwoman in the studio next weekend. Let me know your thoughts on the first pieces and if you have any interest in special ordering or looking at a wholesale catalog (if you are a resale company), please drop me a line and I’ll be happy to accommodate. Thanks! – PTC

Here are a few quick shots from the studio of 4 pieces from the Askew collection — will be shooting product images this weekend!

Hope you like! Fancy images and more soon. Also, I’ve starting playing with metalwork and wire to incorporate into a few pieces in the thread collection. Exciting!
