Being a potter and having made who knows how many bowls over 35 years how could I resist reading a book like that. In essence, the Monks are out everyday with their empty bowls living off what others put in them. Hmm. Part of me likes the idea and the other part wonders what separates them from the persons I see under th...

A new beginning class has just started at Brookside Pottery. The class meets on Tuesday evening from 6:30-9, lasts 6 weeks, fee $150 plus materials. (materials run about $45 and includes clay, tools and firing). Please note: my studio is a fair weather studio and during the winter's coldest months we have to delay the class. The shop is heated with space heaters and below 45 temps make it to cold to work. The rest of the year it is no big deal. So we must remain flexible with when we can meet. A more advanced group meets on Wed. nights for the same fee and same price. See info below for general info: Brookside Pottery is here to help you learn the art of handbuilding and throwing clay. We make both utilitarian and sculptural creations. Who? All interested persons who need help learning the basics of pottery making. I have the knowledge, equipment and space to make this fun. Over the past 35 years all ages have come to Brookside Pottery to make pottery and have been surprise...

A decent Washington State Champagne makes cooking fun while sipping. Hmm , triple creme goat cheese, not so expensive, from Whole Food's Market raspberries , walnut honey goo, more of this and a little less cheese than online recipes egg wash to seal and brown the pastry, simply brush over pastry before baking Ready to bake, oozed out goo painted on top, take advantage of mistakes The pasty always splits a little. Carefully study what you bake while having another sip or 2 of of chamagne. Let it cool a bit before you cut it. Place on plate for faster cooling. Serve on apples or crackers. Eat this while waiting for cheese to cool. Additonal bonus recipe to be made into cabbage/meatball soup tomorrow. Yum. Here we go again. Could not help but share this delicious recipe I just made up. This was made for my Sunday night date with my husband. We watch a couple of stupid TV shows and have terrific appetisers. We could not stop eating the Goat Cheese Brie Puff Pastry. Guess I bet...

Playtime bedtime central time fast time slow time no time big time hard time my time your time some time long time short time real time show time hard time time clock time out It is here and it is gone. It is so basic and still so complicated. I was intrigued listening to NPR's To the Best of My Knowledge as they discussed the concept of time. Americans do keep moving and try to defy time thinking there is never enough time to do what we want to do. Time is a such an abstract concept. Yesterday is gone, totally gone and tomorrow is not yet here. Time plays with our way of thinking. Are you on time? Are you power playing by arriving late? Are you on Mexican or Indian time and expected to be late? Do you set your clock 3 minutes faster so you can play mind games with your watch and not be late? I remember reading in UTNE magazine how the alarm clock changed our concept of time pushing us to conform and get to work on time. How many times have we pushed snooze and tried to ...

Sold and out the door before I got picture of them glazed. They were a dark brown clay with a shiny brown and tan interior. Stoneware and stronger than the Mexican version. Very silly and very one of a kind. Small ones are about $25, Medium are $35 and Large are $45, plus shipping and handling. And I can make even larger ones for $60 up to be used as outdoor planters. Special orders welcome! This is a Glitzie girl still available. I only have this one available now. She was hiding and shy and maybe a bit glamorous for an ever so earthy big Horn Sheep kind of Girl. She is 9 inches wide from nose to tail and 6 inches tall. I sit in my very cold studio still wanting to make pottery even though it is 37 degrees in here! I will have to play Little House on the Prairie just like I do with my little 8 year old student. I am Ma and she is Mary. Her twin sister who take painting somewhere else, not pottery, is in fact, Laura. When we have to throw the thicker slip water over the fen...
