I did move back into my condo last month. I guess that is new and exciting (for me anyway). My life, as always, really just revolves around making pots in the studio and waiting to get back into the studio after a week of non clay work. There may be some exciting news by the end of May, but I don't want to count my chickens, as they say, until they have hatched. When I know more on that topic, I will certainly post it on the blog right away.

One of my first ceramics book was a tome of potter marks, used to identify pottery. It seemed to be more for identifying antiques, but I am in love with the idea. I sign the bottoms with my first name and year identifier, but I've been playing with the idea of using chops because they are a beautiful addition to a pot. My uncle, a production potter, warned me against adding the year because he had experienced shoppers demanding a discounted price on a pot if it wasn't made in the current year. <br /><br />I can't wait to read what you've been up to. I love what I've seen thus far!Carahttp://www.chasingfirestudio.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6826253853956208451.post-48668248669244542042014-12-02T16:12:14.243-07:002014-12-02T16:12:14.243-07:00Thank you so much, it took me quite a while to rep...Thank you so much, it took me quite a while to replace what was lost and get more stock into the galleries.

In France, we've got 22 regions, as different as their cheeses ! (as used to say old General De Gaulle...) The ceramic craft is very famous in south of France in Provence, which has a very mediterranean style. It is quiet different here in North of France, where clay was mostly used to build houses and to cover roofs. Some tiles were glazed to enlight the front walls, because at the time of industrial revolution, the smoke darkened the bricks...In ceramics, we are here influenced by the nordic style, quiet epure, not as decorated in south. And a functionnal pottery has its place in galleries, if the piece is unique. Do you have returns of your buyers, may be they don't use your pottery but simply expose them...So, in my opinion, you're an artist like a friend of mine Dagmar : she makes pots and also unfunctionnable spheres ( link to her blog : http://dagmarvavasseur.blogspot.fr/search/label/Mes%20cr%C3%A9ations ) I also write a link to the show of the ceramics school where I learnt evering : https://plus.google.com/photos/112745595995746649609/albums/5884786443233529665 ..hope you'll enjoy it. Go on writing your blog, I'm sure you're read ! And welcome to your nice dog, throw a nice eating bowl for him !

I find it very interesting because the question of going on with my teaching work both making ceramics comes often to me, but I understand you didn't really have the choise to devote to ceramics only. I'm also curious to learn about how does ceramics work so far away from France, where it is still the "poor parent" of Art. (sorry for my english, learning foreign langages isn't a great facility for us either). I wish you a better year than 2013, with less water !
