I make all my work in a studio just north of downtown Cincinnati, in a 100+ year old former warehouse. It is now converted to an arts center, 8 stories of artist studios and galleries.

The “Pendleton Arts Center” just celebrated its 19th year supporting the arts. The “Final Friday” of every month is open house, a free gallery walk through the building to visit and shop in the studios. I think my fifth floor studio has one of the best views! South to the Cincinnati skyline, of the Proctor & Gamble towers, and also the newest architectural addition to the city, the “Queen City Tiara”.

Final Fridays

I split my work schedule: I make all my clay work at the Pendleton Arts Center. My wheel, slab roller and tools are kept there. Then I bring everything to my home studio where I have my chemicals, mix my own glazes, and have my ‘kiln bunker’ for firing. On my first trip I learned how to pack so I would not break and lose any (more) pieces!
There is a hand-operated lever for the elevator. It is one of the best (or most adventurous) parts of the place!
Or, take the stairs if you’re feeling fit!
