I Have News

I have a lot to say and I don't how to start.  So much has happened in the last month.  It would have been easier in lots of ways to share little bits of this sooner.  In fact, I almost wrote a number of posts, but it never felt right.  Now though, checks are written, names are changed, and inspections have been done, so it is official I guess and time to share my news.

I have purchased the studio.  

If you have talked to me in the past few weeks, this is not a surprise.  I've been telling people the plan if they asked what was to become of Allen's studio.  Before today though I said that I am buying Allen's studio.  Now it is done.  I have bought Allen's studio.  In my daydreams, I have a studio...at home...in the barn after Rusty the horse moved out...years from now...when I retired from teaching.  But this is now.  It is for real and it's in Uptown Shelby.  I have a studio.  Holy cow!  I have a pottery studio. 

The support I've felt from everyone that I have shared with has been amazing.  I don't know where to start with the thanking...Jeff, Mom, Dad, Ronnie, Gail, Lisa, Vicki, Prissy...I'll leave people out if I try to name everyone.  Thank you every one.  There's no way that I could do this without you.  

A Griffin Pottery at 302 South Lafayette Street in Shelby will continue as A Griffin Pottery Associates.  We still aren't in a position to post regular hours yet, but if you see the open flag out, someone is there.  Please stop in and see us!
