A pottery studio for all levels

It started with the realization that I knew nothing about animal husbandry. So herding sheep in Montana was right out. Then there were the endless coffee house discussions about day jobs versus personal expression, living out your dreams, getting back to what's important. Then, finally the mother of all questions… are you really going to do this (insert current day job here) for the rest of your life?

Oh no! Spilled coffee. Existential angst. What makes you happy? How do you want to spend your day? It didn't take too long to narrow down my list. There are two places where I tend to smile all the time. Around my family. And around the pottery studio. And I couldn't help but notice that there are quite a few of us like that, out there…

I took pottery classes for years and years. And missed about half of them because of business trips and meetings that ran late. Thanks to my job, I also missed all of the weekday open studio time at my school.

Most weekends were just too busy. And even when pottering about my home, I realized that I missed the buzz of a studio full of people. So really, the idea of opening a full time "open studio" was inevitable.

Here it is
