Lilacs outside the studio door

Spring has fully sprung in upstate New York. It was close to 80*F this past weekend! I spent time in the garden with my assistant, James, a high school student with a passion for art. We finished reclaiming about 30 gallons of fine porcelain slip and then went outside in the glorious warm sunshiny day to prepare garden beds for spring planting after Mother’s Day. I am planning a somewhat better organized entrance to the studio this summer. In years past, I’m afraid the outside has taken a back seat to the endeavors on the inside. Being open for visitors one day a week has been on the agenda for over 6 years now, starting Memorial Day weekend and running through Labor Day. I post open studio hours Saturdays from 12noon  - 4PM. This year I am making it more welcoming.

I have Thomas Hobbs “Shocking Beauty” in my shopping cart at Amazon. Maybe this year will be the one that takes my garden to the next level!

Come visit on Saturdays this summer if you are upstate. I’d love to see you! I will be serving coffee and tea and bite of something delicious.
