Sorry to have been absent for so long. Last September, my job description abruptly changed from project architect to project manager. I did a fantastic job carrying it off; the owners and clients were all pleased. By Easter, though, I managed to get pretty burned out due to my intense involvement at the studio – TAing classes, taking a class, doing my own work, firing the soda kiln, preparing for and firing a wood kiln with other folks, and putting together a book of my own work to take to NCECA – on top of architecting for 40+ hours a week! I work hard, that’s for sure.

A several-month hiatus was necessary (though I kept TAing and firing the soda kiln). This summer, I’ve been working in clay again. A couple new projects, continuations of other projects, and starting work on projects I’d previously shelved. All worth being excited about. And there are hordes of test tiles rolling through; both glaze tests and amended clay bodies.

As far as the website is concerned, I’m sticking around, but I’m reorganizing! The blog is moving to design-realized.com/wordpress. (Edit: I moved it to /adventures shortly thereafter.) For a little while, it’ll still exist here. The new site will be rebuilt slowly, and in live form. Once the most important content is ready to post, design-realized.com will be the homepage, and the blog will exist only at the new address.

Please redirect your links, and stay tuned.
