Pottery, Iron and Brass Foundries, and Enamel Shop to develop a wide variety of work in clay, enameled cast iron, and brass including but not limited to murals and reliefs, temporary or permanent site-specific installations, and functional and sculptural forms.

I prefer to drink my soup.  Chowder and stew?  Give me a spoon and a bowl, but soup calls for the perfect cup.  The handle has to be big enough for me to slide my four fingers through, warming my palm against the cup.  Should be sturdy enough to keep the soup warm while I sip, but not too heavy to hold for the duration.  This next Call might give me a way to drink my soup out of a beautiful piece of art.  Trip to Louisiana anyone?

I feel left out of the coffee revolution.  I love coffee cake and coffee ice cream, just not the cup o’ joe.  I’m not crazy about the smell of coffee in my house in the morning though.  Clearly, it isn’t genetic.  My mother drinks coffee from sunrise to sunset.  And, she’s always in search of the perfect coffee cup.  She wants one big enough that constant refills aren’t necessary but not so big that the coffee gets cold before you can drink it.  This next Call must be a mecca for the perfect coffee cup, even if it isn’t functional.  Take a look…

I have an unnatural love of olives.  Stuff them with jalepenos, blue cheese or even the lowly pimento… I don’t care.  I love olives so much I have a beautiful little dish I bought from a ceramics show specifically for olives shaped like a lovely little trough that prevents my having to chase olives all over my plate.  One problem… the dish is no longer big enough.  If you make it to the opening for this next Call, please find a new olive solution for me while you’re perusing the BEST in clay work, function or not.  Take a look…

My family is on a savings spree.  We sat down the first week of the year and decided on goals for the year.  Many of those goals require cash.  Cash necessitates saving.  Saving, in my house, means cutting the food budget.  Grocery shopping is now preceeded by a menu and detailed grocery list and eating out has been cut to one sit-down meal and one fast-food meal a week.  This next Call gives you an opportunity to plan ahead.
