I'm sorry, But I have not been able to update my website. I have been too busy, but plan to devote time to it later this summer. Thank you for visiting.

Spring of '09 has been a very busy season for me. I had to push up my firing to March to accommodate a show in Tokyo. Rushing aside, it turned out to be an excellent firing. Also a stress free one as I had a great crew. Kjell came down from his new digs in Tokyo, John, Amy, Aly, Shiro and Morita San. All were on their 3rd, 4th or 5th firing. At times I almost felt that I was in the way! The highlight of the firing was pulling a beautiful Shino Kelly Bag out just before we closed the kiln. Please look at the page of 'Pots 2009 Spring' for pots from this firing.

In April I was back in Tokyo at Gallery Shunn after a 2 year hiatus. I was worried about the economy but sales were the best there for me to date. It was a beautiful show. Minagawa San, who manages the gallery does such a fine job arranging the work. 

In May I had my annual event at the Kobe Club which was also well attended.

In early June a week long show at Daimaru Department Store opened. It was my 3rd show there. Traffic was certainly off previous years, the swine flu panic was just two weeks earlier. Even though, sales were good, with a number of larger pieces selling. 

I'm now back to making pots before heading off to the states in August. I'll be teaching workshops on the East Coast in September. I'll also be part of 2 group shows; 'The soft beauty of Traditional Shinos' in West Virginia, and Kilnmasters and Stokers' in Boston.
