I’ve been making these Very Useful Cups (you can call them VUC’s!) for so may years that it’s hard to imagine my pottery life without them. They’ve evolved over the years to being a little deeper, more colors, a different clay than the original. Still…, they’re about as useful as a little cup can be. If you’re feeling the need you can order them from my Etsy shop which for now is stocked with six colors of Very Useful Cups. If you’re local in SLO county you can find them for a good price and more color options at General Store and Tablas Creek Vineyard in Paso Robles. And Golden State Goods in Atascadero! This one is teal!

Started the first day of OPEN STUDIOS TOUR with a visit from long time collectors Deb and Kevin of Morro Bay. Look at this beautiful pantry they built for their tablewares! There’s not much I love more (work related, anyway) than seeing my works tucked in and comfy in their forever home. Gaaaaaa!

Today’s the final day and I are here with our studio and ourselves all tidy and display oriented. Our hair is brushed, we put on mascara, we swept, and we’re swerving up Oreos and grapes. You’re welcome to come by any day of course, but don’t expect the glamorous world we’re putting on for you today.

Chonky funky slouchy candle blocks. I made my escape from the wheel to pound, dig, and twist these into hand built submission. Cathartic.
You can see them tomorrow and Sunday for OPEN STUDIOS TOUR. My studio in Santa Margarita from 10-5 both days with

You’ve most likely seen this type of drawing on my work before so not new, but I think this one is extra nice. Is it a soil profile map or a mixed use landscape for crops, pasture, fallow fields, and native hillsides? Maybe all of those and something else. The glaze is so so smooth and perfectly like those cookies from ages ago: iced oatmeal cookies? Yum yum!

The electric plug for the kiln did the nasty on me yesterday so some works will not be making it to the OPEN STUDIOS TOUR. There’s still a good amount of new pieces for you to see though. Hope you’ll stop by 10-5pm this Saturday and Sunday for a visit with me and . Also, just one block from us you can make another OS Tour stop and visit the maximally-creative .randall.artist.

Studio: 22210 El Camino Real in beautiful, downtown Santa Margarita. Important note: you’ll be wanting some lunch to keep your tour energy up so I say stop in at The Porch .sm just a block from our studio. I endorse every menu item!!! Yesterday I had their fish sandwich and it was deeeelicious! Extra important Porch note: soft serve swirl with chocolate sprinkles!!

I love this ochre glaze, but not everyone agrees. The emotions are strong on both sides. Fortunately it randomly gives me problems, otherwise I would probably use it way too often. Here it behaved itself and the result is kind of 60’s hip.

Come see this and other new one-of-a-kind pieces this weekend, Oct 12-13, at my studio during the SLO County OPEN STUDIOS TOUR. Sat and Sun 10-5pm here in beautiful Santa Margarita.

Heya’ dear friends and future friends! New work for OPEN STUDIOS TOUR, this weekend only, Oct 12-13, 10-5pm, at my studio in Santa Margarita.

Primarily new singular pieces I’ve been working on for a couple of months; all functional of course! I seem to have gotten in to making serving bowls so there will be quite a few of those. Kind of elegant, kind of groovy, all inspired by my love of soils, cells, and leaves.

My studio mate will have her studio open as well so we won’t be lonesome. Hope you can drop by.
