Twilight Trio plays Music in the Gallery / Sunday, Sept. 4 from 2-5
The DOGDAYS must soon draw to an end - we all need a BREAK from the doldrums and drought. So...
Please join me on Sunday, September 4th (from 2-5) for music in the gallery with The Twilight Trio.
Tickets are $20 - RSVP now for number in your party: susie@shadetreepotter.com (include your phone number)

There's an ever widening circle of friends who enjoy the music, art and gatherings, here on the cliff above the Pedernales River. I hope you'll add to the circle by inviting someone new to share this experience.
I'll be introducing my summer's work, two Urn Series: Sweet Souls and Return to Earth. I've made custom funeral urns for several years. These urns are elegant, nature inspired tributes to those we love and have lost.

Hope to see you and your guests in the gallery for a great afternoon of retro roots music, from The Twilight Trio. Don't miss it!
Email me at susie@shadetreepotter.com to reserve your place. Be sure to include your phone number.
Pray for Rain! and see you Sunday, September 4 from 2-5, at Shade Tree Potter's Gallery.

“Joel Guzman is one of the finest musicians I have ever worked with. He is truly inspirational. I never put Joel in (recording) situation where he didn't have a problem that he could not solve. Everybody is always impressed with his work, even those unfamiliar with his work. He definitely looks beyond the standard and norms in what he is working on. and always looking to expand.”

Spicewood Elementary 5th Grade Field Trip
-
April 2, 2010
Each year the 5th Grade comes for a Filed Trip to take a long nature walk, and learn some plant names, see the view from the cliff and collect bits of nature to make a clay tile souvenir from the day.
They use the bits of nature like stamps, impressing the soft clay slab with a nature design.

I copy each students name on to the back of his tile. After the first firing I glaze the pieces and they are fired again. Each student creates a work of art to keep and remember the day on the land.
