-Here are updates and images of projects we have been working on!
So I got the mug situation all untangled and contacted all those who wanted mugs and set them aside. I will be sending a bunch out today. Those who I am waiting on let me know by the end of the day. After that the rest will be going to the Blue Heron in Wyalusing. There are 10 of these winter mugs currently at Slanted Art Co-op in Montrose if you missed them. the price will be each $20.00 at the shops mentioned. Be sure to tell them I said hello and that you are from the Pottery page. I appreciate each shop that sells local authentic handmade!
Hello all! I got swamped here online with the whole mug thing and I am working out how many I have to keep out for those who requested them and for those who sent in pm and posted requests today. I have no idea what I am doing as I have not had this many requests at one time though Facebook. I hope to have it all worked out a bit later today. The rest I hope to take images of and post in the online shop. right now I am going to get a coffee and go though comments and PM and start untangling the Christmas lights of a mess..I know many of these are gifts so I'm getting on it...I might need a secretary to keep track of all of this..
Thanks to everyone from the page and group who came out to visit me at the Christmas In Montrose event. I hope you all enjoyed the pots and the sale price you were given for being a supporter! I was able to make some new connections for my pots that made the day extra special! More about what that might be later! You all are the best!
All set up at Christmas in Montrose with the winter pots! 1 for $20.00 or 2 for $30.00!

Biography
I was introduced to clay in a basic ceramic class at Keystone College in 1996. It was there that I saw the artist and professor Bill Tersteeg turn a large bowl on his wheel. I fell in love with clay as a medium because I was able to manipulate it in many ways, far easier than painting or drawing. After achieving my AFA, I then spent three years at Marywood University where I completed my BFA in Ceramics with artist and professor Matt Povse. While attending university, I took time off to work an apprenticeship with the artist Sharon DiGennaro at Wild Flower Pottery in Thompson, PA. With student loans to pay off and no studio space, I put my wheel and kilns in storage for a long and sad 10 years and worked in the manufacturing industry. When we bought our home, I put in a small studio and dug out my wheel and kiln. It has been an incredible time working with clay again, and I was encouraged to sell some of my functional work by family. I continued almost where I left off. I have been studying textures on functional ceramics, making conventional forms a work of art for people to enjoy while using them. I hope you enjoy the work and welcome to Creek Road Pottery.
