potsapalooza potsapalooza life on the mountain in the studio and around the house tuesday july 10 2012 no more moving target in my next life i think i will make paper or beaded jewelry that way i won t need months of chiropractic adjustments to ease the back pain from moving my studio equipment not once not twice but three times in less than 12 months no one wants to hear the sordid details the issue has been resolved and this artist is back in the saddle for real this time my new space is at the same place where i moved the bailey last year it s divine to have everything all at one location david built a shelving system like the one i had before i am sharing the space with my fiance luthier david a wiseman building mountain dulcimers creates a lot of sawdust i m considering a raku kiln in the future david s side of the studio the bailey is straight out the door behind him lots more is going on in my life but having a place to call home for my art has given me some peace after a very tumultuous year posted by kari weaver at 8 35 pm 9 comments monday november 14 2011 guess who is firing again in case you have been wondering i do still exist on the planet my life is beyond crazy busy now and dial up sucks i usually run out of patience before blogs can load and i m too busy at work to take the time to read if the universe would create just for me an extra day or two maybe a week i could catch up on gallery paperwork and take the time to breathe and read blogs in the meantime i ve moved my gas kiln and am 95 finished with the shed i m calling a friend for back up before i cut a hole in the roof for the chimney but after we do that it s a go propane is scheduled for hook up on the 22nd and i m hoping to have her loaded and ready to fire on thanksgiving day it s been a year since i ve fired and i m sure i am forgetting how much work i have to do to get ready especially since the pots are at the gallery the glazes all need to be re sieved and the pots glazes and kiln are all in three different places and i have been making work like crazy i have enough bisqueware for 2 maybe even 3 glaze loads all cone 6r i have 4 or 5 cone 6 r glazes i am happy with and 1 or 2 that need some tweaking i am still stuck on 2 or 3 cone 10 glazes that i love but eventually would love to do away with the cone 10 altogether in the name of saving time money and the planet not that i have much time for testing but i just can t seem to help myself but does anyone have cone 6r glaze recipes that they would like to share i seem to recall someone maybe tracey who has a cone 6 r black recipe so back to busy again and if the universe sees fit to comply with my modest request i can post pictures of the new work in the coming weeks posted by kari weaver at 5 51 am 5 comments wednesday september 7 2011 blogging on dial up i had a sincere request this week from a dear friend to update my blog so much has happened over the past few months some good some bad i m going to give this a go stick around i m getting my groove back after 3 months of living in my car my business partner s basement and my gallery i moved into a sweet rental house just down the road from my kids school the rent is unbelievable and perfect for the starving artist that i currently am i have been here for nearly 2 months finally have a landline and hold on to your hats dial up internet service i live in a holler which means i am rural enough that the phone company doesn t offer dsl here satellite internet is too costly so the obvious alternative is to go back in time to the 1990 s i moved my electric wheel slab roller and electric kiln to my gallery where there is a small space for a studio the bailey now resides at the mushroom factory a former shitake mushroom factory turned artist studios i still need to put a roof over the kiln and hook up the gas not to mention make enough work to fill her up however the coup de grace is my kick wheel on my front porch in other news kyle carpenter included me in mudfire s asheville in atlanta exhibit opening later this month i am so excited about this exhibit especially since i haven t done much clay work since last fall still trying to honor his requests for privacy i won t talk too much about my estranged husband he and i are on civil speaking terms the kids live with me during the school week and stay with him on the weekends they seem to be adjusting pretty well kids are more adaptable than we think by the time i was my daughter s age i had been through hell and back so in all honesty they have it pretty easy the gallery keeps me very busy and no we do not have our website up and running yet being the detail oriented capricorn that i am i am by default the bookkeeper i like getting the numbers to balance but it s challenging and very time consuming and now i am being trained to use quickbooks which is not going so quickly at all business was booming this summer has slowed this month but we expect it to pick up as soon as the leaves start turning we get a lot of tourist traffic this month we are catching our breath and catching up i m relearning the simple life and am quite content and happy i live a little close to the edge sometimes but i have never felt this free and relaxed posted by kari weaver at 10 04 am 5 comments saturday may 14 2011 where do i start i would start at the beginning but you d just get bored and quit reading i haven t posted in such a long time because just about everything in my life is changing shall i give you the good news or the bad first about 8 weeks ago while trying to decide about starting a cooperative two other artists and i stumbled onto a business opportunity too good to pass up we are now the proud owners of one of a kind art gallery in micaville nc we opened our doors for business on april 1st had a smashing grand opening reception last friday and are so excited about this new venture i have to be careful about how i talk about the other major change in my life but being careful and cautious has led to some misunderstandings so i m just going to lay it out i have made the difficult decision to leave my marriage of nearly 18 years i have moved out but still see my children almost daily i have moved my wheel slab roller and bisque kiln to the gallery where there is studio space i m moving the gas kiln to a space about a mile down the road some folks will consider my divorce bad news ever the optimist i consider it a chance for a richer life most likely i will get some grief for posting about this my estranged husband is intensely private and once he hears that i have written this for public consumption there will be some fallout however not blogging for the past few months has left me feeling disconnected from all of my potter blogger friends here is my attempt to reconnect posted by kari weaver at 6 17 am 9 comments saturday february 26 2011 new ideas 2011 has been a little unsettling for me so far i m unsure about what direction my life is taking up until i had my children and we decided that i would stay home with them i had always been fiercely obnoxiously independent i m not sure why it s taken me almost 13 years to recognize that i am about as far from independent as i can get at least financially independence my pottery does not support itself and barely adds anything to the household income i decided to look for a job part time and related to my art penland had a part time sales job in the supply store i applied interviewed well i think but they hired someone else i was sad for a moment or two before i realized that it meant something better was just around the corner boy was i right a couple of clay artist friends and i have been discussing ways to promote ourselves and our art community we toyed around with the idea of organizing a show but then we stumbled on the idea of starting a co op it s too soon to tell whether this will pan out but i m taking the bull by the horns i ve registered for a couple of free business seminars over the next couple of weeks and we re planning regular meetings to see how we can make this a reality anyone have any thoughts on starting a co op or gallery we re very excited but i m not sure we even know the right questions to ask even if the co op falls through those business seminars will be helpful in launching my other brilliant idea burnsville approved alcohol sales nearly a year ago we have an abc store a wine shop and a couple of restaurants that serve alcohol how is it that no one has opened a pub posted by kari weaver at 3 38 pm 2 comments tuesday february 1 2011 happy birthday to my mom the graphics on this are blurry but we ve all seen it my mom turns 64 today posted by kari weaver at 6 12 am 1 comment monday january 31 2011 back to doing what i do best i know i said i was going to throw some cups and i know that i should stick to my word but let s face it when there are potters out there who are making gorgeous cups is it really necessary for me to do make cups too after seeing these cups on meredith s blog i decided to leave the cup making to the pros at least for now besides the cups i threw were taking forever to dry and i nearly forgot about them i had left way to much clay at the base so they requited an inordinate amount of trimming and then the kitties decided to take a tap dance on the ware board gouging several cups and moving the plastic so that they dried too fast plus it s really cold in the studio wah after tossing the cups into the reclaim bucket i sat down and threw some small cylinders no pictures since you all know what they look like i m going to try making some small baskets one of the ideas someone floated at our last clay club was the orton cone box thing i wonder if i can go that small i think it s harder than it looks posted by kari weaver at 3 32 pm 3 comments older posts home subscribe to posts atom contributors kari weaver kari weaver events bele chere asheville nc july 27 29 mt mitchell crafts fair
