These potter hands actually belong to Tena Payne, the owner of Cahaba Clayworks.

Their artists manage to fight the instinct of every blob of clay.
Which is to become an ashtray.

Then they throw on some paint and some glaze and call it a productive day.

Details include handstamping.

And adding feet. They're like little Ewok feet.
Yes, I run like an Ewok. And I'm a master potter.
Because of these two relative truths, I'm giving away the lovely piece of pottery above. And enough Barnes & Noble moolah to buy a sassy book to keep it company - $20.
Good? Good.
How To Enter

Hi, Jamie! Missed you over Easter! I love your posts!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite hobby is genealogy, but with the addition of the second little bit around here, my research time is scarce. So, my favorite hobby that I can actually do with a two year old in tow is gardening. I have a lovely garden that is all pollen yellow right now. Achoo!

I was already one of your FB fans and I'm delighted to now follow Tena on Twitter. I'm a big Tena Payne fan and have a decent pottery collection --- including many Tena Payne pieces (a Bellagio bowl like the ones she's just put on sale via Twitter and a piece like the one pictured above, but in a different glaze).
ReplyDeleteWould love to be a potter myself but lack the patience. I have the wheel, kiln, clay, tons of supplies... just haven't gotten back to trying it. Maybe one of these days, eh? Hoping in a few years I can list throwing as a favorite hobby rather than just collecting pottery.
My favorite hobby is rubber stamping and card making!

Actually I love to knit. I find it pretty therapeutic and calming. I'd love to be on the east coast and maybe get involved with the secret group of knitters who are embellishing trees and signs and fences in the dead of night.

ReplyDeleteI loved pottery in school! Oh, how I'd love the opportunity to have a go at it again.
ReplyDeleteMy hobby, if one calls it that, is reading. You see, I'm a librarian, so I should have plenty of time to read, but I'm also a student/mom/wife/blogger. My reading time has been cut due to school work. I can't tell you what I'd give for an afternoon in Barnes and Nobel...hot coffee and good book in hand.
Should I win, I have a great place for that lovely piece of pottery. I'd place it on my book shelf in the front room.
