Happy 2009 to our Greenbridge Family & Friends!

Hope you are weathering this season of chilly temperatures and icy conditions in the warmth of your homes with those you love. We've been keeping warm by the fire and enjoying a little breathing room after the busyness of the holidays to catch up on new year's resolutions and consider the directions we want to take with the pottery this year.

On a rather snowy Monday in January, several of the Greenbridge Crew (Evan, Rose, Susan, Nick & Susanna) took a field trip to a favorite historical landmark & inspiration, the
Moravian Tileworks in Doylestown, MD. Constructed and run as a large production studio in the early 1900's by an eccentric but creative businessman named Charles Mercer, it is still being operated today by the Bucks County Department of Recreation & Parks and a new generation of clay artists. Nearby is Fonthill, the eccentric handpoured concrete mansion where Mercer lived, and the Mercer Museum, which he built to house his extensive collection of 19th century farm and folk artifacts. We hope to include some of the ideas gathered from that visit into our work this year so keep a look out for it!

Continuing to work with Evan & me at Greenbridge are the creative minds and talented hands of Susan, Bine, Rose & Nick, lending their unique expressions to our Pottery gallery.

Our next event will be the Spring Thing Event, Saturday April 11th, which will feature a wide range of containers for spring flowers as well as our popular Spring Cleaning sale, followed by the Sheep & Wool Festival,   May 2 & 3rd.    Please be sure to check back on our website for details.

In the meantime, remember that we are open every weekend throughout the year! We will look forward to seeing you soon!

Always your friends and local potters,
Rebecca & the Crew

Most recent developments in the studio & gallery include the Araucana celadon glaze, named after our South American breed of chickens (look for the ones with the puffy feather sideburns!). It's the fresh new soothing soft pastel blue-green you'll find on double happiness bowls, dragonfly pots and most of Susan's equestrian & botanical works.
 

For those interested in the current headcount of the Pottery's menagerie of animal entertainers, we have 2 dogs, 3 cats, 2 guineas, and a pile of Araucana chickens. By the way, our new glaze introduction this year, just happens to match those lovely green eggs.
