Indigo Street Studio Native Landscape

Even though the hottest month of the year in the Sonoran Desert (June) looms, the weather is still moderate enough for our productive kitchen garden. On the left, nasturtiums hug the feet of heirloom tomatoes, creating a shady living mulch. On the right, we let some of our artichokes go to flower for great color and for bees to enjoy!

We planted this young saguaro a decade ago and it was chest high. Now it is taller than either of us and flowering for the first time!

One of our goals with native wildscaping has been to create tiers of plant heights and textures. We’ve been here for fifteen years now and are starting to see what we’d hoped for! This photo, from bottom to top, has purple-flowering Guayacan (Guaiacum coulteri), grey-green Quailbush (Atriplex lentiformis), feathery green Fern Lysiloma (Lysiloma watsonnii, formerly L. thrornberi), and an assortment of taller mesquites.

Glazing Time in the Newsome/Reich Studio

Jeff Reich is set up to glaze his recently bisqued rectangular trays, cups, and geometric abstract sculpture. The vivid blue on the foreground platter is painter’s tape, which he uses in addition to wax as a resist material. Jeff’s glazed work will be reduction-fired to cone 10 in our gas kiln.

Farraday Newsome is glazing a blue-and-purple butterfly yunomi tea bowl that could just as easily be considered a juice cup! Her glazed work will be fired to cone 05 in one of our electric kilns.
