On To The Next Chapter

After months of uncertainty and change, the new normal has become a reality. My time at Reitz Ranch Center for Ceramic Arts has come to an end. It's still hard to believe that ten years ago to the month, I moved from Iowa to Arizona to work with my mentor, Don Reitz. My position evolved from Don's studio assistant to the Ranch's studio manager, and finally as Education Director. These last few months have been unexpected and difficult, to say the least. 

However, as one door closes (sometimes quickly due to a pandemic), another opens. My hope is that the Ranch will someday reopen for future generations to come. Until then, my focus is shifting to my own studio. While the Reitz Ranch has been shut down due to the coronavirus, I've had time to set up my studio and begin to make new work. 

Over the last few weeks, I've started to think about creating a space for future classes to be hosted in my home studio. With the pandemic in mind, my ideas are to start small with private one-on-one classes, and other online socially safe practices.  

I'm nervous to be making such a shift in my life, but I'm optimistic good things will come from it. Thank you everyone for all your support over the years and I hope our paths cross soon.

List of stuff I plan to make for free in the ceramics studio:

Approximately as many pride pins as I can cram into the kiln before the clay staff gets mad at me (probably hearts and circles, and I probably can’t do either the Labrys flag or the lipstick lesbian flag because we don’t have the right glaze for it, but most other pride flags have the right colors yay! let me know if I should send you any, or if you have requests)

A teapot!

Tea strainer holder... plate things? itty bitty plates

Boxes for spices and tea (gonna glaze those with something called COPPER ADVENTURE I’m delighted)

DnD dice set (for show, probably not actual use)

Coat hook

Planter (so I can separate the stupid aeonium and haworthia) 

A puzzle jug if I hate myself want a challenge

A Look into the Future

Francesca, art therapy, makes time for her happy place by adding a last minute elective in "A Look into the Future"

I had my first week of classes these past couple of days and I would say it was great although slightly overwhelming. My long day this year is Tuesday in which I have 4 classes. I originally had Mondays and Fridays off but I decided last minute to add a ceramics class because as I’ve stated before, ceramics is my happy place. I’m so happy with my decision because in all honesty I was probably…

Secret  Garden ~ Teracotta Art

Dieser idyllische Plätzchen sieht zwar aus wie ein Götzentempel ist aber wunderschön. Es liegt Mitten in dem hektischen Stadtzentrum und ist daher eine kleine Ruheoase in der man sich zurückziehen kann. Dieser Ort (mit kleinem Cafe) gehört auf jeden Fall zu meinen Lieblingsorten in Chiang Mai (aber nur mit einer Tonne Mückenspray auf der Haut)!
