With the summer art fair season closing in quickly, it’s always important to try
to introduce something new to the assortment. My “groupies” always ask the question…
“So what’s new this year?!”
Luckily, this year, I have a couple new things “fresh” out of the kiln… and ready to go!
With a limited quantity coming to my first two shows… Schaumburg & Hinsdale.
Okay, fresh out of my last soda kiln anyway… finally got around to posting the photos.
Creamer & Sugar Sets… slightly squared, fully stamped, completely functional.
And these… still looking for a clever name… any suggestions?!
They’re lidded jars with two separate sections in one pot.
Salt & Pepper pots?! Ketchup & Mustard? Who knows?… two of something?!
I must admit, they’re inspired by Julia Galloway and the workshop that I took with her
a few months ago. She makes a smaller version that she’s made (and I’ve loved) for years.
I thought it was worth a try… to use her inspiration, and give it a little twist of my own!
So we’ll see how these go over at the first two shows. Like I said, there’s limited quantities!
Especially as these were pretty much the “prototype” batch for each of them.
Hi Gary! Got your postcard in the mail today. These pieces are beautiful! I’ll see you @ the Prairie Arts Center to buy 1 of each 🙂
GREAT!!! I’ll start wrapping them up right away! Let’s hope for better weather this year than last year – when we literally got flooded out of the park on Sunday!!!
Hi Gary,
I love the above pottery. Unfortunately I am out of town for the art fair this weekend. How can I order one. Very Cool piece. I think it should be a salt jar.
HEY MARY JO – Sorry it’s taken so long for me to respond. I’ve been a little busy with art fair stuff. But now that that’s done, I’m checking in on all the things I’ve missed. As for the double salt jars, I still have a few for you to choose from. I saved some to the side for next weekend’s Hinsdale Fine Art Fair on June 9th & 10th. Hopefully you’ll be around and able to make it to the fair to see the new pots. If not, let me know and we can try to work something out.
