Today's postcard is from Riverstone Pottery by Lynne James. Lynne says, "Because working in clay has been a joy for me for most of my life, I strive to stay engaged in a life-long exploration with this beautiful and challenging material. Working with this soft malleable material, sometimes I am led, and sometimes I lead. Over the years I have experimented with a variety of clays and firing methods including wood fire, salt fire, saggar fire, and electric and gas fire; each adds its own exciting dimension. What most inspires me? The smoothly textured surface of a rock, a seed pod, a shell, a walk in the woods."

Today's postcard is from Marianna Crans. Marianna says, "As a photographer, artist and nature lover, my acrylic paintings reflect that love of the outdoors and humanities interactions with it. I work from my own photographs that I have been lucky enough to capture the image or use as a source photo to recreate those breathtaking moments. I capture the scenes around me and I love the time before dawn and after dusk the best, when magical moments happen."

Jumping back into the week with a postcard from Sally Rothchild. Sally says, "All of my stoneware pieces I hand throw on the potter's wheel. This process allows for the subtle variations of shape and form that gives each pot a life of it's own. I decorate the pots with brushed white slip, sgraffito (incised drawings), brushwork ,and a variety of glazes that are poured, dripped, and brushed over the pots. The pots are then fired to a high temperature in my gas-fired reduction kiln. The variable flame and temperature in this firing creates a depth of color, surface texture, and variability that gives the pottery a rich added dimension."

Thursday is a wonderful day to express how thankful we are for all of our artists. Today's postcard is from Monica d. Church. Monica says, "I began mashing up collage and painting in the autumn of 2019. Combining layers of paint over and under repurposed pieces of mylar, polyester, thread, tape resulted in pieces that were becoming three-dimensional objects rather than simply flat surfaces. The edges are painted and some as deep as 3 inches. During my time sheltering in place, a painter’s block has interrupted my progress on this body of work. Last week, it suddenly lifted- I understood that the mylar was a barrier, becoming a thin membrane that protects the underlying painting."
