What a Great Day.
Wednesday, August 4, 2010 at 10:51PM
This morning I drove up to Penland after having made plans earlier in the week to meet up with San Francisco ceramic artist Diana Fayt. Diana is spending a few days in NC between teaching workshops at Mudfire Studios in Georgia.
I've known Diana via the internet for a few years and I was delighted to get to sit down with her today and chat about pots and all sort of other things. Michael Kline was there for the day too and we three knocked around Penland School for several hours, having lunch and visiting the Gallery during a super heavy downpour.
Diana makes amazing work and I've always been in awe of her etchings on her pots. Of course with Michael and I both around we had to talk about blogging and selling online and all that techie stuff. Diana busted out her i-Phone a few times to show us some cool photo apps and to record the rain falling.
We headed over to Crimson Laurel around 5pm to look at all the amazing pots in the gallery there. I then had to head back down the mountain in time to cook dinner and get some pots glazed and into the kiln.
A bit more on all this tomorrow. Now it's time for me to hit the sack.

Did Diana like those cool orange socks you wore just to impress her? Ha!
Glad you had a good time! Jen
I got no comments on my socks today. It was fun and energizing.
hey ron, lucky you... i would love to meet diana. her pots are great. did you know that her boyfriend is not dead?
Jim, I heard Michael say something to Diana about her boyfriend and him not being dead, but I didn't understand, it was like some inside joke or some thing. What did I miss??
So glad she made it up there. I'm still in post workshop bliss from being around her.
Next on my list are you and jen ;) someday.....
ha, just realized that I sound like such a ceramic artist groupie.
Hey Monica I think I could come learn some stuff from you. Pots are looking great
.
Hey Ron, Thanks for a great day! We had a nice dinner, but wish you could have been there.
Thanks for posting this picture. Somehow I didn't get one on my camera! Hmm. mystery!
Have a great weekend. Love the money boxes. Is it OK if I make some?
I had a great time too. I think Diana got all the good pics, the one with Sam too. Maybe she'll post them.
Heck yeah, have a go at those money boxes! I can't wait to make more. It will be fun to see what you come up with.
