Preview of what's to come
Time for a preview of the work I'm doing right now! The family is expanding.... and I think they're a fun bunch for sure.
I'll be at Applefest with Fired Arts Collective in Warwick, NY in October, then hopefully Mountainside with the Potters' Guild of NJ in November, and certainly with Icehouse Pottery in December in Riverdale, NJ. That all means I need to have plenty of work ready since my day job stops me from putting in long hours to replenish between the shows.
So, take a look at the shot glassses, toothpick holders, and soap pumps I'm working on - so far, so good!
Salt and Pepper Shakers!
At Mountainside, I was asked to create face jug S/P shakers - so I did. Look for them at the next show!
Too late for the brown set - they've been adopted by Jack and Harriet. May 2011
Green/Blue adopted by Claude - Icehouse Dec 2011
Last set in this pic (lower right) adopted at Mountainside 2013 by Stephanie

Update on Pottery by SuN.
I know that based on the entries here it looks like I'm not doing much, but I'm getting back into throwing after a long love affair with the gnomes and will have more pictures for this soon!
Icehouse Pottery Show - Finished for another few months at least!
We closed the show at 5PM tonight - another successful year; it's always so nice to leave with empty boxes rather than the heavy boxes we lugged in. Looks like we have two new members and a possible 3 more. They found out about us through various sources - friends, Internet, publications, and newsletters. That, on top of the members culling their stock and making room for their next best idea ever.... it's been a great year and it's all looking up.

Day One - Icehouse Pottery Show
Mother Nature chose today to invite Old Man Winter into our house. While our visitors were steady, we'd hoped for more and look forward to tomorrow, once this weather turns into nothing. The up side is that several prospective members visited and checked us out; no one felt rushed and it was a lotof fun talking to them. There are some really interesting people thrilled to find a studio with openings in their own neighbourhood. The coming year looks fine indeed!Every Home Needs a Gnome (and these gnomes need homes!)
These gnomes will be available for Christmas gifts (children, teachers, office grab bag, administrative assistant? The gnomes do not discriminate and will be a happy and pleasant companion - no mischief - they promised - seriously.) Give a smile and a giggle that lasts all year!Also - if you are a potter looking for a studio - we're accepting applications. Come meet us, see the studio and know that even a potter needs a home!
Latest Faces - Stories to Come
Beanie Boy was adopted at Mountainside in April 2010 - I wasn't at the show yet when he left for his new home and if you are his new family, I'd love to hear from you; I'm at sunottin@gmail,com. Thanks! I know you and Beanie Boy will be very happy and I'm glad he finally spoke to someone. Obviously he was waiting for just the right person to come along before he revealed himself.
Professor Reginald
Professor Reginald will expound:
On the value of galaxies that surround
And beauties that always abound.
Alas, he is trapped here on the ground.

Alas, he is trapped here on the ground.
The good professor is 6 inches tall and is 7 inches tall with his bald pate in place.
Adopted by Judy at the Mountainside Show (Potters' Guild of NJ)
Madame Mary Mystique
Madame Mary Mystique’s own future
Does hide from her inner eye picture.
She can help others to move forward,
But wonders what she’s heading toward.
Madame Mary is 6 inches tall until she wears her turban and then she's 8inches!
Scatter Brains
This face jug is a rattle. So far, although I can hear his marbles, he's not using them to talk to me.
He's about 4 inches tall and solid round!
Adopted by Donna!
Maxamillian
Maxamillian sells old used cars.In his spare time he loves cigar bars.
That he is cliché does not matter.
But his polyester shirt is sadder.
My pal Max is 5.25" to the top of his head and 6" to the top of his handle. He's the first to insist on a "SEE gar" rather than a "Butt" for his smoke break. I'm sure it's a cheap cigar at that.
Adopted by Michele at the Mountainside Show (Potters' Guild of NJ)
You Did WHAT?
I'm not so sure just what I did, but this fella hasn't stopped being shocked since the day he emerged from the kiln. I can't wait for him to share a little of that surprise.He's 4.25" tall and 5" to the top of his handle.
