Philo Dough vs. Puff Pastry
Yesterday I made an Asparagus Gallette that required Puff Pastry.  I figured it would be best to get at the store. In the frozen section I saw both Philo Dough and Puff Pastry.  Puff Pastry is more expensive so I decided to try the Philo.  I knew it was a risk but thought it might be OK.  The result was just OK, but I had flakes of crust everywhere and I will remember this for future recipes.  I...

Busy but not in the studio
I guess this time of year has its ups and downs and for me its just been tough to get into the studio.  Taxes, teaching, traveling…but I am anxious to get back.  I have several requests so the ideas are flowing and I’m planning now for summer craft shows and markets.  So hopefully lots of new pottery is on its way!

How do I get more time?
I am super excited but also nervous because I am getting more and more requests for custom made pottery items.  The items themselves are not necessarily difficult to make, but I still worry that my sets won’t be identical or that I won’t make them on time.  I am about to start teaching at the university next week and don’t know how much time that is going to take out of my week,...
