–busy bees

Soozee here, with a quick update.  So, what have the tile twins been up to recently?

Well, I’m glad you asked.  Tracy and I are currently busy at work in the Ramona Paloma Studios.  We are preparing for two events in early December.  First , we will take part in an exhibition and sale at the Wheelhouse Pottery Studio in Monrovia on December 4th.  And secondly, we plan to reinvigorate our medley of tile at Belle’s Nest in Sierra Madre to join in the “Nest’s”  Holiday Collection of Artisans–going on through the month of December.

Tracy and I really thrive on our working time in the studio.  It’s bustling, creative, and keeps our gray matter engaged.  Often, we are cracking each other up while working (to prevent the effects of being “glazed over”…).  Also helpful are the musical talents of Abba, or the Monkees (both generating some loud sing-a-longs), combined with our melodic leanings towards the Black Keys, Jack Johnson, Norah Jones or classical radio on 91.5.  Long hours in the studio inspire a musical mix.

Below are some recent photos of our tile-making.  Three parts of the (many step) process are shown [making wet clay tile, a shelf of loaded bisque-ware ready to be fired (first firing), plus several photos taken while glazing].

Stay tuned for more details about the Wheelhouse Pottery Studio show in Monrovia on Dec 4.
