Balance Act

Last summer, my wife and I bought a new house in Greensboro. Three years after moved to NC, I finnally felt a sense of settle-down. I remodeled my garage into a studio. It ended up to be my kids’ favorite activity room. My son loves to build his model cars there, and my daughter would spend hours there to work on her drawing. My dream of working in home studio didn’t turn out as I planed.
Right now, I am sharing a large studio with 4 other potters near UNC-Greensboro. It works out perfectly. However, I am still juggling between teaching, family, and my studio times. I will try to post my updates at least once a month to share my news.
Here are some of my recent works for an up coming three-person show this week. The reception is this Friday, March 23, from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. If you will be around triad area, please come to the show.
