Great news for stationery lovers! All the US orders we have shipped since August 29 have arrived in good time, and with no additional charges.

We are covering tariff costs this side, and the system seems to be working :-)

For some reason, this post from last week never posted the images. Anyway, I finally finished this new work. It's headed to the State of Clay in Indiana exhibition next week, so if you're headed to the Indiana Clay Conference, check out the exhibition! #ceramics #indianaclayconference #ceramicart

From The Atlantic: The Trump Administration Is About to Incinerate 500 Tons of Emergency Food
www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...
Five months into its unprecedented dismantling of foreign-aid programs, the Trump administration has given the order to incinerate food instead of sending it to people abroad who need it. Nearly 500 metric tons of emergency food—enough to feed about 1.5 million children for a week—are set to expire tomorrow, according to current and former government employees with direct knowledge of the rations. Within weeks, two of those sources told me, the food, meant for children in Afghanistan and Pakistan, will be ash. (The sources I spoke with for this story requested anonymity for fear of professional repercussions.)

One of my larger slump vases, finally finished! I hesitated posting this in the current state of the world, but felt like it was important to keep moving forward in my life. (Also, US friends, please contact your reps!)

The word “tapestry” conjures Medieval constructions in dark, simple palettes, conveying religious rites and hunting motifs — but modern practitioners like Sam Dienst have demonstrated that the form is due for a (second) Renaissance.

The Everson Museum, Syracuse, NY, is one of the few that recognize contemporary ceramic art. One of my cups is part of a currrent fundraiser at the Everson. The museum is very worth supporting. Find yourself a new cup. You may bid here: www.32auctions.com/organization...
