Early morning fog at The Barn this morning! Crazy cool, but not much of a view.
You can barely see the sun trying its darndest to work its way through!!!

Beautiful sunset lighting during the “Golden Hour” at ART IN THE BARN… after a very successful Day One in Barrington. Looking forward to another good day tomorrow in the Lower Barn in Booths E4&E6. Come spend your Sunday with us… 10:00am-5:00pm.


The OWLS have landed!!!
This year’s flock has arrived at ART IN THE BARN as the newest member of “The Ghouls Collection”!!! There’s a limited number of forty… and when they’re gone, they’re gone forever!!! C’mon out to Barrington for a wonderful Fall art fair. The weather is great… and the artwork is even better!!!










Just in case you’ve missed any of my subtle hints… straight-up this time!!! ART IN THE BARN is this weekend!!! My biggest art fair of the summer with my double booth in the Lower Barn. Lots of functional pottery & Halloween decorations… tons of options for everyone. C’mon out this weekend… they throw a great art fair out there at The Barn!!!


A beautiful full moon peeking through the clouds
creating a wonderful moodiness in the sky.

Just some last minute fumes… windows open, fan running… putting together a couple more framed ClayQuilts for this weekend at ART IN THE BARN. I mean, I’ve got a night “free”… so I’ve got to be making something, right?!!!


Also in my “spare time” I decided to do another last minute glaze firing. I felt like I might want more options for ART IN THE BARN this weekend… more choices for customers, more pots to buy!!! MORE IS MORE… until it comes to time!!!


All glazed… kiln loaded… here we go!!! Look at me.
Practically ahead of schedule?!!! HA!!!






Time to get some glaze on… don’t panic,
this “chocolate mint ice cream” color turns clear when fired!!!
