Now That We're Closing...





Now that we're starting to wrap things up here in the studio, it's time to begin a new blog. To that end, you are welcome to join me at our new Photography Blog: http://alexsollaphotographyblog.blogspot.com/

My goal is to have something visual to add at least every other day. Writing something more meaty might happen at fewer intervals.

But we are going to let go of the Cold Springs Studio Blog... so get ready for the change-over.
The new blog will deal more with our new venture into the photography world. (just so you know, it is very odd to not be working in clay... not just now, but knowing that I wont really be able to go back to it)

While we're working on that, we've also been seeing a LOT of interest in our Glaze Tectonics platters. Ironic eh? Now that we're about to take them off the walls, folks are wanting to see more of them. If anyone has ideas for marketing them, or knows of a great gallery that would love to host them, please let me know.

Gary's third pottery blog said...

Alex, my man, wow. The photos look good, and I am sorry about the troubles of the last year. Best wishes with the new ventures. I always tell people that an afternoon throwing dozens of pots is like splitting 2 cords of stove wood, and you wonder how easy it is to do that as you get older....

The funny thing for me Gary, is that I never found the throwing part to be particularly hard. Even now, I can throw no problem. But I cant (or really SHOULDNT) pick up boxes of clay, lift kiln shelves, move boards full of pots, etc. All the stuff we all do non-stop without thinking.
Grr. So now photography takes the front seat and learns to drive. (We should do a photo shoot with you and your pots one of these days!)

that is my favorite of the platters - is that the one that fell off the wall at the Cornell show? Or is that one still intact?

Alex Solla said...

@Tobi- This is the platter that fell off the wall at the Johnson Museum at Cornell two summers ago. Broke my heart. Made Aurora mad as hell; it was her favorite platter.

We're hoping to rebuild it, restore it... we have all the pieces, but it is one of those winter projects that may take a few winters to finish.
