The Sumner County Studio Tour is two weeks away ,November 7th 9-5 and 8th 12-5. I unloaded my last pottery load before the show and now just have the studio to clean. I should include a before and after photo of my studio. I have the inventory from my Ravin Studio Pottery booth from South Water Manor to sell as well as my new items. I created a sewing machine lid for a thread storage container, a Dolly Parton Mug with a spoon with her portrait.. I call it a Dolly mug because it is shaped like her figure and glazed in pink and black .. This year we have 13 studios and a signature from each studio gives the visitor a chance for a drawing of a gift basket with donations from each of the 22 artists. I will have a drawing for my studio of this ceramic pumpkin below.
