Pottery Paycheck.

I am sitting here doing the Internet thing, drinking my afternoon coffee out of my favorite Paul Eshelman cup and what do you know, Paul is one of the other artists profiled in this months Ceramics Monthly Article "A Pottery Paycheck". I am so excited to be featured along side a veteran potter like Paul. I love his work. He was one of the first potters to inspire me to get it together and figure out how to make work. I cornered him for about an hour at The Baltimore Craft Show a bunch of years ago and asked him a million questions about how he makes his work. He was very accommodating even though I did not buy a thing (poor student at the time).

The other artist in the sneak peek is Diana Fayt. My Facebook friend and maker of beautiful pots.

Ceramics Arts Daily gave us this sneak peak at the article. I am still wondering who the other six potters might be.

P.S. House update. meeting with seller on Saturday!!! this really might happen.

New for SPRING

Porcelain Pinch Pots. 1" x 2" x2" $12 for four

Corn and Cobalt - Olive Servers 1" x 1.5" x 5" $15 for three.

Today is a super dreary one with a grey sky and rain drizzling pretty constantly. I thought it a good day to sit under a blanket with some tea and finally get to updating the Soup Shop.
It is now filled with vintage, handmade and re made objects. Something for every one.

Spring has really sprung.



Spring time is here at last. Today it is 73 degrees and so very lovely out side. I moved all my plants to the studio balcony. Including the basil, spinach and lettuce seedlings I planted a month ago. I am glazing a new batch of work for the upcoming Art Star Craft Bazaar as well as the just added City Paper Trunk Show which is coming up super fast. It will be in Northern Liberties, on 2nd street in the brand new Piazza at Schimidts. 150 artists plus music, beer and food. The date for the Trunk Show is Saturday May 16th. Come out and help me get a little closer to buying that house.

I just unloaded a glaze firing of blues and greens. Look for new work soon in the shop

Thanks to everyone who bought dishes this week. I really might just get that house after all.

Plus I added the link to my Twitter in the side bar. It is a good way to keep connected to all the Philly ceramic happenings plus Etsy shop updates.

Help me Buy a House.



So I have found it, the house of my dreams. I just need to raise a little more cash for the down payment. The only plus to the awful economy - even an artist might be able to afford a house.

Help make my dreams come true. I will have you over for tea and cake any time you like.

Buy a dish - get my dog a yard!!!! naomiclearyceramics.etsy.com

and ok, it is not the house in the picture. but isn't it cute.
