Pottery by Tasha (website)

Circa 2000

What made you start working in your craft? Was it a dream? Was it an accident? Was it payment on a bet?
I always wanted to be an artist and I just sort of fell into pottery.

Where do you work? What does your fantasy work space look like?
Right now I work out of a shared studio space, my ideal space would be a
fully equipped pottery studio in my back yard.

We all have vending horror stories but has anything really really GOOD ever happened to you?
It's always great when you get a new gallery contact from a show or a
teaching opportunity.

If you had to pick a superhero spokesman for Baa Baa Yarn who would it be and why?
Wonder Woman, sometimes I feel like I need to be Wonder Woman to get everything done.

Working on your craft can be a solitary and sometimes lonely venture. What keeps you company?
Music, Movies and my dog.

We all have dreams of money – but what would you do if you had the TIME?
If I had more time I would spend more time on large scale ceramic work.

Crafting beverage of choice?
Coffee and Water.

What is the one craft tool you can not live without?
A kiln.
