Way before the cheeseburger format went into effect,
but Carrol said it would be okay to repeat. I hope so.
Day 22: I used to be a potter.
Eons ago, after
ten years of teaching, we had a baby girl.
I became a stay at home mom.
That was so hard.
I started doing ceramics in my garage during
nap-time
and at night. This grew into a small business, Superslop!
I had sales twice a year. By invitation only.
Amazing to me now, but it worked.
After being in a craft show in LA, I began to sell to a few decorators and two department stores. Over the years I have lost some of the product line photos, just the faces line to share here.
Primarily
unglazed, high-fired stoneware slabs and thrown shapes. Some had iron oxide and or porcelain. Decorators favored the wall planters. The roping probably gives away the age?
I always said I just played with the clay and the faces appeared.
Two of my favorites were Laurel and Hardy.
Laurel is with the Nomura Family.
Why someone separated them I don't know.
I hope the same for Hardy.
It seems like a lifetime ago.
