From Clay to Clicks: Fresh Website, Fresh Faces, and Fresh Savings
I’d like you to meet Sergei, a recent graduate of Appalachian State University’s Industrial Design program. The Raleigh home boy reached out to both me and my studio mate to discuss working in clay. His easy-going personality, jack-of-all-trades credentials, and can-do attitude have had him working for both of us since we met him at the end of August
From Pottery to Paws: A Whirlwind of Creation and Connection
I’ve been running back and forth between art fairs and the animal center—meet my new pup, Stella.
Hurricane Helene’s Horrific Hellscape
I'm trying to do what I can to help our state, using my Ford Transit Connect and taking supplies to Charlotte to be flown into inaccessible areas where the roads are gone. There's a great need for chainsaws. If you have one to donate, bring it by the studio, and I'll take it to Ashe County.

Autumn Awe, Fall Festivals, and Mug Magic
Since I decided to partake in the craft fair associated with the International Bluegrass Music Association's annual festival, I want to create some magic and history for the music lovers attending the festival. If you're attending an event that involves lots of walking, most will want to buy small pieces of art that will fit in backpacks. Mugs are at the top of my list.

The Thrilling Impact of Fun!
I had put Fun at the top of my list of things to accomplish while in Ashe County. And I did—so much so that when I realized my phone had fallen into the river after I jumped out of the kayak to get past some rocks, I just kept going.
Ikigai, Creating a Life with Authentic Flow
Watching the sun sparkle on the river and listening to bird songs over the gentle sound of the river flowing by is mesmerizing. Transitioning to a new place and reconnecting with old friends takes time. I've been here a week; there's so much to share. I love it here in my Riverview Treehouse.
Running Away–Part II
As I prepare for my retreat in Ashe County, I'm thinking about what I want to achieve there. Fun is at the top of my list. We use the word fun to describe many things. Actual fun combines three feelings: playfulness, connection, and flow.
I'm Running Away From Home
In April, I told you I had applied for an artist residency in the Pacific Northwest. I knew there was a good chance I wouldn't get it, so I started thinking about how I could provide an opportunity like this for myself. Here’s what I’ve come up with.
Imagination and Growth Create Happiness; I'm Exploring my Inner Sculptress
After two successful shows, I'm ready to return to the clay studio and get my hands muddy. I'm excited to explore my inner sculptress by working on larger pieces for the outdoors, many more lamps, and building an inventory of birdhouses for the fall. The studio shelves are full of lovely work, perfect for the wedding-giving season ahead. So much to be excited for.
My New Knees and I are Hitting the Road for #TileFest 24
My husband loves this event! There is so much for him to see and do while I work, including tours of the tileworks, The Font Hill Museum (Henry Mercer's concrete and clay castle), and the Mercer Museum (Henry's tool collection). Doylestown is also easily walkable and has great shops. Get tickets here!

Photo-editing has it's place in Hell
For the last two weeks, I've been photographing pottery, editing the images, creating photos for the website, and attaching ©Bosetti Art Tile & Pottery to them, all the while knowing this is the first step in updating my website. You'd think this would be fun,
The Practice is Perfect
You’d think that coping yourself would be easy, it’s not. Follow me through the last few weeks of work as I try do duplicate a vase shape I’ve fallen in love with.
Memories, Sisters, and Beaufort
Enchantress is the boat my then-husband and I sailed into Beaufort, NC. She's a full-keel schooner, 60 feet long, with a 5-foot draft. She’s a cork.
Vacationing with Covid
There's nothing like being rewarded for hard work, like having a relaxing vacation where you can refresh and reenergize your creative flow by letting your mind wander over an endless sea or colorful mountain range.
