The rumors are true – I’m headed to KC to teach at the Kansas City Art Institute. California and I are in total shock…San Francisco has been good to me these past eight years. For seven years I co-owned Verdigris Clay Studio + Gallery with Mary Mar Keenan and Rae Dunn. Now that chapter has come to a close, and we potter gals are all moving on to new adventures. Mine will surely involve the Missouri River!

WOW! Bad news for us. I was up there in March with my wife and a friend and you were so helpful to a beginning potter. Thank you very much and I hope that this adventure goes well and that when you are done with it you’ll think about coming home to San Francisco.

Congrats on being featured in Ceramics Monthly. I love your work and purchased a small lidded container in the ArtSream at NCECA. I am thrilled to hear you are moving to KC. I live nearby in Liberty. Please let me know if you schedule any workshops here I would be very interested in attending:)

I just read the article in CM. Good advice. I visited Verdigris about two years about when I was in SF for one day only. I had a nice chat with Rae and bought one piece from each of you that I put into regular use in their special ways. I am glad to see movement in your lives but sorry to see the gallery go because I admired the concept so much- working and selling with friends with access to the public- even with the negatives you point out in the article. Good luck in Kansas!

Hello there Ms. Christa!
After reading your statement i went on to investigate Eva Zeisal, Matt Forderer, and Santiago Calatrava. Each seem to have a similar format beginning with a chronological element followed by an artists who influence me section. It seems important to lay the framework of introducing oneself and then referencing otheres prior to closing with details and insights into your own work. Funny thing was that i read Eva’s first but am not that suprised to see her mentioned in your statement.
See you tomorrow.

Hi Christa!
I’ll bet Aunt Jane was up late last night watching the Penguins. What a game! I must call her.
Hope you’re doing well. I love your pitchers. Tell Aunt Jane that’s what I want for Christmas.
Hugs,
Andrea in Harrisburg
