While I often get credit for the work that comes out of our shop, the truth is I don’t do it alone. Janis provides the support in the office, making the numbers make sense. Without her efforts the business simply wouldn’t run.
Out in the shop I get lots of help too. Sarah, Donna and Kirsten help out as they are able on a part time basis and I’m grateful too.
There is one other person who adds a lot of magic to our work. Rebecca (my favorite daughter) is our paint expert. She loves to experiment with color and glazes, and in the process has taken our work to a whole new level.
She doesn’t work full time, with mothering Phoebe and the horses taking up much of each day. But when she’s putting on the paint, absolute magic happens every time. With each project there is a spirited discussion over what will look good. She hates to simply repeat herself and is always looking for new combinations and treatments. Because of her efforts our work looks like none other out there.
At our workshops she takes great joy in passing on our ‘secrets’. She is also always watching what others do in the hope of learning something new to add to our repertoire.
I appreciate her efforts. THANKS BEC!
