Spring 2021

50 MUG SALE

About a year ago, when the pandemic was in its early stages, and everything felt extremely uncertain, I was having trouble focusing in the studio. When I don’t have a lot of new ideas in the studio, but I know that I need to get working, I’ll generally just start making mugs. The repetitiveness of the process lets my mind wander and usually helps me break through a dry spell in the studio. I decided to make one hundred mugs of solitude. A year later, I wanted to somewhat revive what I hope will be an annual revisiting, but this time with just 50 mugs (which is still a lot :)

My sale will open Tuesday March 9th at 10 AM MST. There will be a lot to choose from, so I hope you can find a good one to add to your daily routine.

WESTERN CIDER

I’ll be having a show opening Friday March 5th at Western Cider in Missoula, MT called “The Little Things". There will be mugs for sale as well as a selection of some small watercolor and gouache paintings I’ve been working on. Sadly, but understandably, there will be no first Friday reception, but the show will be up through the end of April

I am very excited to be a part of the 6th annual Ceramics Invitational at Radius Gallery in Missoula, MT opening April 23rd.
