Greetings
from Montreal on this glorious, hot, and sunny Canada Day!
July 1st has special meaning to me for so many complicated and joyful feelings... I like to pick'em, as they say, and so I should celebrate this first anniversary of Slip Studio with you!
On July 1st, I began this adventure, unbeknownst to me, signing a lease on a new pottery studio that would become my own. A community of strangers turned friends, students, and artists... I am so happy you are here!
As for news and updates... I've decided to dedicate my summer to moi and my art. I am delighted to share that I received an ARTS ALIVE grant from Art Westchester and will be spending my summer diving deeper into my personal work. This grant allows me to take some time to explore ideas that have been percolating and serves as a kick-in-the-butt push to create. So let's see what happens!!
I'll be spending my mornings in the studio making, while members will be free to work alongside.
Afternoons will be dedicated to DROP_IN STUDIO TIME. You've asked for it, so I'm giving it a try! No-instruction studio time - open to the public. What can possibly go wrong?! LOL
FALL CLASSES are posted and ready for you to take a peek and make a plan. Four hand-building classes, including a new 6-week Nerikomi class. Take a look here.... Fall registration opens August 3rd.
BOBO's Farm
There are still a few tickets left for Bobo's Farm on August 30th. Join me and the colorful cast of foodies at my very first FOODIE FIELD TRIP to New Paltz, in the Hudson Valley! If you haven't seen the viral videos, just Google it. Bobo's Farm is only open to groups, so snag your spot in our 24-person yurt today.
Last week, I had the most wonderful time learning about and tasting Indonesian cuisine with Selvia Tjandra-Stothers and Chef Shandra Woworuntu.
They are both infectiously positive and bright women, and I was so happy to welcome them into the studio.
We started brainstorming loads of different culinary adventures, so stay tuned for more details...
Save the date: October 17th!!
Two Double Workshops!
I've added two new 2-day workshops to the summer calendar. If you want to come in and test your skills, work on an intricate two-day project with me. Day one is detailed construction and day two is all about surface decoration.
- July 24+ 25
- Aug 28-29
Check out new summer and fall WORKSHOPS in the calendar! From SALT PIGS, Kintsugi, and Nerikomi to PASTA and Matcha making.
Come and eat. Come and CREATE with us!!
Fiber Arts Workshop
Come and join us for another mindful workshop of WEAVING IN THE ROUND on Saturday, August 8th, with Courtney Salerno from Made by_cjk.
Come and chill. Make something. Bring a friend. Coffee & scones are on me.
