Wednesday

 Visited Jered Nelson's studio in Berkeley to pull some ceramics for a special project I was working on. 
It's the most calming space: lots of warm light, music humming in the back, 
and endless pieces of beautiful ceramics made from local California clay.
He is an incredible potter with a very impressive resume.
Looking forward to sharing more images of his work soon!


I found these little plates in his "seconds" room to take home. 
We took Michael Pollan's good advice of eating off smaller plates–
it honestly makes such a huge difference in how much you eat!

You have such pretty photos, and I love Pollan's book In Defense of Food, I keep passing it around to friends. I just tell them, it's what we always thought, but spelled out in book form :)
