Fresh Work, New Showroom-- a Propos of Spring, Oui?

Will make more of these

by Kathy

While my pottery studio is still new to me, I’m now gearing up for the opening of my new pottery showroom area by sometime in April. I will be selling my work right from in back of my studio in a small but charming outdoor show area. My “K. Jeffers Pottery” sign is on the road, and pottery classes have been in full swing in the basement studio since last summer. I warmly invite any of you who are in the area to drop by to see my new work. It is at 6972 State Route 42 in Woodbourne, NY, just south of the border of Grahamsville.

I have to say it was quite a feat getting a grubby, disgusting old basement turned into a functioning studio, complete with fresh white paint on the walls, large work tables, a pretty barn red floor, and plenty of shelving for storing clay, glazes and work in progress. Well, the red floor isn’t quite as red as in the picture after nine months of use, but it’s still pretty darn clean for a pottery studio floor!

 I am excited about the new work I have been making since just after the Holidays. Some of it will be filling those showroom shelves and the rest I plan to display and sell at the various craft fairs and a museum show that we seven gallery members have signed up to participate in over the spring, summer, and fall. If you wish to know where to enjoy seeing all of our work together in one location, you can go to the Catskill Artists Gallery events page, which has just been updated for this season/year, by going to: www.catskillartistsgallery.com/Events.html.

And now, down to the basement to get some glazing done.

 

The "before" version--YUK!

The "after" version--MMMM!
