Here's another very old photo. I bought this Shimpo pottery wheel used in 1977. I still use it, and it's just as good as when I bought it. One of my favorite things about pottery equipment is that it doesn't have planned obsolescence built in. My kiln wore out because of the heat it had to constantly put up with, but both of my wheels, one of them 50 years old, still work perfectly.

These are two very large platters from the past. I'm no longer using stoneware clay, and the porcelain I use is very hard to throw and shrinks quite a bit more than my old stoneware. These pieces are probably from the 1980's. I liked them very much when I made them and still do.

I used to clean my studio for a week, then set up a display for the Christmas season. I also had open houses in my studio. The photo is blurry, but it's a time period, somewhere between 1985 and 1994. Before phones took photos, I had a lot of blurry pictures. The best thing about this time period was that I spent a week each year cleaning my studio. The candles were from a business in Port Townsend, Washington called "Coyote Candles". They paid their employees an incentive for each day that they didn't drive to work.

My eyes were closed because that's typical of me in photos. This was taken in the part of my studio that was a sales space before 1995 when I got the downtown space. I throw my pieces in that room now. The pour bowl sets each had three stacking bowls and a whisk. I used to use stickers that I cut to make triangles under my black glaze. The lighter set is so faded out in this photo that I can't tell what it looked like. Both pieces are porcelain. Going into fall, we'll still be open Monday through Saturday, 10-5:30.

In my original downtown location within the Occidental Hotel, we had shelves. I can hardly remember what the store looked like, but here's a photo I found. Remember, we're open six days a week, 10-5:30.

Here's a photo of the store when it was in the Occidental Hotel, between 1995 and 2001. My husband David painted my sign and we occupied the two doors closest to City Hall. When I started my mom and David worked as volunteers for me. At some point, I started making more money, and I told my mom that I could start paying her. She said, "Heck no. Then I would have to do a good job." Of course, she always did a great job, but she was very kind and helped me. I never offered to pay David.

In my pursuit of the last fifty years in pictures, I ran across this one of Caitlin in her playhouse using some pottery. No doubt I took this photo for promotion purposes but I don't think I used it. I love the mischievous look in her eyes as she drinks from a goblet.

Here's a display from the 1980's when we had the Main Street Art Gallery. These pieces are porcelain. I really like the bowls on the middle shelf and maybe they'll inspire me to do some similar pieces again someday. Back then, when I was making pots, I generally worked about 12 hours a day. Now my back can't take those hours, so I try to not make pots more than 5 hours a day, so I can't create as much.
