FYI: After 10 years, Peg and Nancy decided to become bonafide! They had a "pop up" wedding on Saturday, January 6, 2018. Thanks to everyone who showed up that day and shared the surprise.

You-All gave Peg & I the perfect Saturday. Thank you for sharing a bit of that beautiful day with us. We met new and old neighbors, saw relatives of all sorts and moved a lot of pottery and a few gourds out of the house. Thank you all for liking, sharing and communicating with others about Squarepegart!!

Peg got an early birthday present this year: A 3-D printer! It has become her new obsession, thinking up all sorts of things she can print and impress into clay.

Peg has been sculpting lately. She wants to make sure you all know this is "IN PROCESS". I think it's fun to see things in stages, follow how the art unfolds, the decisions Peg makes along the way to bring her vision 3-D. -N

Nance and her friend Candy went to the country last week and got 60! new little egg gourds. They should keep her busy for a while. Stop in from time-to-time to see what she's done with them.

Check out this cute pot Pam made to remind her that Spring will come again.

I did this piece as a response to a writing for the Interpretation Show at the Columbia Art league. I call it "Hand of God". The writing was written by a man named Steve. The title is "Duty". Here it is;

The condemned man was oblivious, his fellow prisoners cunning from Auschwitz experience. He had been seen stealing food. Even without theft, the prisoners were nearly skeletal; with theft, the weakest would soon die. It was unwritten law understood by all: steal food, risk death in the night. The executioners were five, the method—suffocation by blanket. They would meet at midnight.
They huddled around the elder’s bunk, night groans filling the barracks like sounds from a restive, slumbering Hell.
The youngest, tremulous, whispered, “Could this be mortal sin?”
The elder, steady, said aloud, “Yes, if we fail in our duty.”

Gennie made these amazing sculptures. They make me think of the gentleness of a cow, the inquisitiveness of a rabbit, and freedom of a dancing crane.

There are LOTS of leaves to choose from these days in the back yard at Squarepeg pottery. Leaves make any piece more interesting, organic and just plain cool.

The front yard is the space with the most sun around here. We have planted this area in years' past then life got in the way and pushed us in other directions. Peg learned about the straw-bale method over the winter and we have had a lot of fun setting up our first bale garden. Drive by, walk by or stop by to check it out. Happy Spring!

There are a lot of characters hanging out at the Studio. Obviously some are struggling with issues!
