I have to start this post by exclaiming how awesome an event Salad Days is. I have never been there but I’m sure it is tremendous. It works like this:

Watershed Center for the Ceramic Arts gives a residency to a potter, Sean O’Connell in 2010,  who makes 500 beautiful earthenware salad plates. Once the plates are made, they host a salad bar full of local veggies and for a mere $30 donation you get to pick out one of Sean’s plates and feast on the bountiful buffet.

Other attractions include a raffle of pots that are donated from potters around the country that are fired in Watershed’s wood and soda kilns and an Invitational Pottery Sale. I will sending a group of work this week for the Invitational Sale and I sent a bisque fired triangular ewer for the raffle. I won’t be there to see it fired, so if you win it in the raffle, please send a photo or post one on my Facebook page.

I will be heading across Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine in August for 2 weeks at Watershed, but I’ll save the details for an upcoming post.

Thank you for navigating over to the newly updated website. Please browse the menu bar to the right for specific pages, pots, and information. Be sure to take a look at the Sustainable Energy page for a full description of the green electricity that powers my studio and kiln. Please contact me with any questions you have.

Thanks and happy shopping,
Marty
