In honour of International Tea Day December 15, I will draw for one of my teapots (similar to the one in the picture). What you need to do to enter is to come and see me at the Circle Craft Christmas Fair in Vancouver, Nov 11-15, 2009, Out-of-Hand in Victoria, Nov 20-22, or at our Open House here at the Artfarm, Dec 5-6
.

The draw will take place at my studio December 15 and I will post the winner here on the blog.

a lot of building going on

After a very full summer with farming, tea and a lot of studio visits, late summer came and went in a heartbeat. It's hard to believe but the christmas fair season has arrived.
My studio is upside down with last minute projects. I am working around the clock creating, firing and glazing. There just aren't enough hours and minutes in the day. It seems like late night firings have become the norm.

Carrot Teapot

I think this is what happens when you focus all your energy in one area.
For most of the summer I have been creating new teapots in preparation for an upcoming teapot exhibit.
And I had to laugh when I pulled a carrot the other day.
Even the carrots are creating teapots now
