on making…

I wander between studio and garden frequently. They are places where making happens. Earthy things. Kiln fire today; terracotta amphora, tiles and test glazes. In the garden, bulbs are beginning to make their blooms; tulips, anemone, ranunculus, crocus. Sweet peas are giving a small burst of growth and the sweet violas are flushing. It’s wonderfully strange that I am doing now what I did as a young child; making mud pots in my fort, next to Mama’s garden.
