As I write this now, it's December and these images are a month old... Another Holiday Sale has come and gone, with the whirlwind that it always entails.

I know now that these are the last pots I'll make in this studio, and that as the packing and planning to move to the new one has begun, this room in this house will never look like this again. I'll miss it. I've spent so much good time here; my vision for being a potter and all my current work were born in this basement.

I am already as sad to go as I am excited to start over in my new place.
