Watershed: One Potter’s Experience…Day 9

On Sunday, the day after Salad Days, there was a definite change in the atmosphere at Watershed.  The kitchen staff, although still recovering from the past few days, found time to prepare a lovely brunch.  But on the whole, things were much quieter; and although some residents headed down to work in the factory studios, most had chosen to spend the day relaxing and seeing the sights of the beautiful coast of Maine.  Since I am not staying at Watershed 24 hours a day, I sometimes forget that, for many people, this trip to Watershed is also a chance to visit Maine for the first time.

I enjoyed the quiet time in the studio Sunday morning to take some great pictures.  Since visitors to Salad Days often like to wander through the studios, some current residents had set up informal displays of their work; so it was a great opportunity to photograph beautiful pottery, in a great setting (pictured here are works by Adero Willard and Monica Leap.)  Afterwards, I was happy to finally get some work done in the studio, since much of my time over the past few days had been spent helping out with Salad Days.
