"the mud room" is one of my favorite little spots these days. it's my cute pottery shed located just beyond the house, tucked into a cluster of pine trees (NC's state tree). during the winter and cooler seasons i enjoy grabbing a bucket of warm water, cranking up my kerosene heater, and tuning into my favorite show "little house on the prairie". i know, i know, everyone thought my life dreams were to die standing behind the register in a surf shop. false, i love throwing pottery... and until my hands shrivel up and my back is permanently out-of-whack, i plan on pursuing this passion. it's true, i'm a little unmotivated at times. it does require getting muddy, having tore-up fingernails, smelling strange fumes from the kiln, and once again... back pains. however, i love it. this weekend our church is having it's 3rd annual "mosaic" art show so i've been extra-excited to start kicking my wheel and slingin' some mud. these are some photos of my latest work. i just love the way the clay looks when it's fresh off the wheel! the little ones are for you mom!

shut up!? no way! that's awesome whit! can i register through you now? remember that cute little mug you gave me like 10 years ago. i still have it and sip my coffee with it every morning. i would pay some serious danish krons if you would make a personalized dish and little spoon for baby lucille. maybe i should be emailing you..
the fonts: all you need is word in microsoft window. if you have photoshop, even better! ok, i am emailing you now to explain.
pottery looking sick and LOVE the black and white photos.
Thanks Whit, I can't wait to have your pots and show off your talent at my shop!!
The studio looks good. There's not many things more satisfying than lifting a leather hard piece off the bat and starting to trim...I think there's a box of stuff for you on Lindy Lane, did Hank tell you?
You are a woman of many talents Mrs. Hines. I too will be showing my rockin scarves at the art show! But they are in no way as exciting to make as slingin some mud!! Love Ya!
