This is a pot I made for my friend Bridget who lives near the summer camp I used to teach at. I went to visit her at her beautiful f 1800's farmhouse during the summer of 2009. While I was there she showed me her new chicks and kept calling out "chikadoodles!" while we threw them Japanese beetles, borage and nasturtiums to feast on. This inspired me to create the Chickadoodle pot pictured here. There is an inscription that says "For Bridget" on the bottom but I told her if she wants it she has to come visit me in Washington. It's a bribe to get her out here. Bridget hasn't seen the piece yet. This will be her first chance to view it. Thanks for the inspiration Bridget!
The pot measures 6 3/4" tall and is low fire clay with under and over glazes.
Adorable and funny. You captured the dazed look that chicks have perfectly.
