GEAUX TIGERS!!!

About Me

Okay, so I'm finally updating for the first time in a few months, and it's long over do. After teaching ceramics for the summer in New Orleans, I have moved into my new studio, 3774, in Baton Rouge. The address is, you guessed it, 3774 Government. I throw pots and put vintage fabric on them after firing them. You can take a look at the slide show below, or go to fairleighcook.com for more work and design options. 3774 consists of myself and the fabulous painter TJ Black. Come visit. If we're there, we're open. Look for us soon on myspace, or we'll find you. I have a wonderful dog, Emma Sue, and a more canine than feline cat named Lawrence Reginald French, Jr., Jr. I love everything outside, art, wine, and not so secretly I wish Angela Landsbury and Andy Griffith were a couple. And John Jackson's pretty cool.

My Interests

Art, mountain biking, football. Christmas with friends. Laughter that hurts. Napkin folding. Buying blazens at the beach.
