Name:
Location: Longview, Washington, United States

I live in a small town in Washington State, USA, with my wife, two sons, two dogs, a cat, and family nearby. I work at the local community college as an I.T. Specialist. In March of '02, we bought a 70-some year old house that needed a lot of work. When I'm not working on the house, I like to throw pots, be outside, and read a lot.

About half of this batch will be earmarked for Christmas presents and the other half will go to the gallery for Christmas sales. I also spent several hours working on a few ideas for hand carved tiles. If they work out, I'll probably want to use some of them in with the slate in the front room.

  • Merideth,

    Everything that I don't give away or incorporate into our dishes at home (this month I decided we needed a bigger cylinder for wooden spoons and spatulas) goes to the Broadway Gallery in Longview, WA. I've never really given any thought to selling my work online or through the mail. Its an interesting proposition. Maybe I'll take some photos tonight and put together a little website.

  • oooooh it's so exciting!!

    My friend Kevin makes jewelry on the side as hobby. He brought some in to work one day and every one dug it so he put a couple of peices up on ebay (just last week) and he's having a great time selling stuff. Maybe you'd be into that?

  • Merideth,

    I've sold stuff on Ebay before - duplicate CDs and DVDs, computer stuff, etc. The last time I looked at pottery on Ebay, though, it looks like non-name brand, or not made by a famous potter pottery was undervalued. Plus, theres all the hassle. I might put some items up on my website and if people see them and want to buy them, cool. If not, no biggie. Its not like an auction where I'd have to repost items that didn't sell, mess with Paypal, and all that. They take 30% off the top (even though I maintain their site), but there is zero hassle for me.
