Firing Complete: Turning a new leaf at the Shade Tree Potter’s Studio

April 17, 2019September 20, 2013 by Susie Fowler

I’m thrilled to be writing to you again, especially with news that I have been back in the studio at last, glazing and firing a group of miniature sculptures which I’ll be selling at the Spicewood Arts RoundUp, October 18 and 19.

These pieces are intimate in nature, minimalist impressions of birds and stauesque plants, sculpted in soft stoneware and glazed in rich bronze and jade tones. I’m very pleased with these jewels.

I missed the birds as much as I missed the trees when I moved to Austin after the fire. In my new home, I follow the meanderings of turkeys, roadrunners, titmice and wrens. I wake to birdsong and catch the morning light breaking behind the mockingbird’s profile and know that I am home again.

I have a new phone number, so please make note: 512/693-7687 that spells 512 693-POTS.

And a note of thanks to the sky above for today’s major soaking rains. Fall begins tomorrow and I am so glad. See you at the roundup! and YES, there will also soon be a musical happening.

Hello: Music Time!!

We enjoyed Guzman Fox Hardin a year ago, in the gallery, and I couldn’t wait to have them back again! They’ll be here Sunday, March 13, playing from 3 – 5 with a potluck gathering before, during and after. So, come enjoy the day with old friends and new ones you’ll meet on the porch.

Reservations Only: BYOB / Potluck Appetizer to Share / Carpool is always great!

Hope to see you in the crowd. Susie

“Joel Guzman is one of the finest musicians I have ever worked with. He is truly inspirational. I never put Joel in (recording) situation where he didn’t have a problem that he could not solve. Everybody is always impressed with his work, even those unfamiliar with his work. He definitely looks beyond the standard and norms in what he is working on. and always looking to expand.”
