A few weekends ago, I had a chance to spend a little time at hutch studio. Chris was giving a demo in clay & hung around a bit to shoot some photos of the event.
Here are a few glimpses of how he displays some klt:works items. It's always a treat to be able to see my work in that space.
Chris set out to do something that he had never done before...to throw a bunny on a wheel. Sounds cool doesn't it? It was really quite an interesting thing to view. It's the type of thing that only someone with his experience, could pull off with a crowd of people watching. Not to mention, the shop was actually open. So in between working on the rabbit, he was helping customers!
The atmosphere at hutch studio is really wonderful. It's calm & creative with a sense of wonder in the air of what cool discovery might be around the corner. Chris has created playlists by subjects that are always playing - songs about water, hands, boats, birds... etc which just adds to the "hutch" experience.
So this is the final product! He (or she) was just unloaded from the kiln yesterday. Chris literally pulled a bunny out of his sleeve that day. Amazing! What I love the most about it, is the process & that he had absolutely no idea what was going to happen. I admire that...it is my favorite way to work. Chris has demos & workshops set up all of the time at hutch & if you are in the area, I highly recommend attending- they are quite inspirational. Stop by the hutch studio blog or FB page to keep an eye on what fun new project is being worked on.
Hope everyone is having a great week! It's finally sunny & spring like here. Boy does that make a difference!
Whoa, that's cool! In one shot, with everyone looking on. Takes guts! lol. I love the klt setup too. I have to say, that is one the nicest working environments! All that light, beautiful furniture and art... so lucky.
