Frequently Posed Queries

Frequently Posed Queries

Sometimes people ask questions. Sometimes I answer them.

  • Where is your workshop?

Where I will not be bothered. I am old and easily bothered. 

But if it helps my mystique to have you believe it is under an old oak tree in the forest, then it is under an old oak tree in the forest.

People don’t spend enough time cultivating a good mystique. They are missing out on a whole lot of fun.

  • Where can I see your work in person?

Currently, you can’t. If I decide to make an appearance at a festival or fair I will certainly announce it, but, as previously stated, I am old and easily bothered. 

Feel free to join my mailing list to be notified. Believe me, I will not spam you. I don’t have the time or inclination.

You’re welcome to hold your breath until it happens, but if you commit to that too strongly you will eventually fall over and your breathing will naturally resume as normal.

  • Can you put a curse on my ex / boss / neighbor’s dog?

No! Go away!

  • Do you believe in this sort of thing?

What the hell kind of question is that? Of course I do!

Because I want to. Contrary to what many people think, belief is a matter of choice. I have chosen. You can make your own choices. I am comfortable in my beliefs so if you decide not to join me, that’s fine. I have also chosen not to believe in proselytizing.

  • Is the photo really you?

…yes. Yes, it is. I look exactly like that. 

No. But it is how I would like you to imagine me. 

It is closer to reality than fiction, but keep in mind that I am closer to fiction than reality.

  • Is that really your workshop in the picture?

I wish! That would be awesome! 

My actual workshop isn’t nearly as interesting.

  • Do you have classes or students?

No. Why on earth would I subject anyone to that?
