Always fun to see Natalie Steinmetz and her wonderful pots. A combination of traditional pots with a wide range of glazed finishes, underglaze transfers & funky creatures popping up here & there!!! Always bringing the fun with a great energy & vibes to the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR!

Also coming to us from the Upper Peninsula… Lindsey Heiden will be returning to the Sandwich location after showing at the Leland stop of the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR last summer. Whimsical, illustrative & colorful pottery for the win!!! We can’t wait to see Lindsey & her pots again this year in Sandwich!!!

Plenty of bowls for everyone… always food-safe, dishwasher-safe & microwave-safe! I mean, if you can’t really use it… why bother??? Stop by the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR to get a few bowls of your own! This weekend in Sandwich, Illinois at the home studio of Cory McCrory!

Joining us from the Upper Peninsula, Kenyon Hansen is back again this year for the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR! We missed him last year in Sandwich… so this weekend will be his triumphant return!!! Cant’s wait to see Kenyon & his pots… many of which remind me of the Northern Lights!

I will once again be joining the crew of talented potters at the Sandwich stop of the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR. My dear & talented friend Cory McCrory will be hosting… and the rest of us will be there with a lot of pots to show off. We hope you’re all making plans to join us this weekend… I suggest starting out west and then working you way back in towards the City! Come see us first to kick-off your Pottery Tour!

The NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR is coming soon… just four days away! Mark your calendar & plan your route to visit six different pottery studio locations & see 43 potters along the way! I will once again be a Guest Artist at the the Sandwich location… home to My Talented Friend Cory McCrory!!!

I met Cory McCrory MANY years ago when we were both setting up our booths at the Hinsdale Art Fair… we were intrigued by each other’s work & have become fast friends ever since!!! She is now one of the hosts for the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR… and I will once again be one of her Guest Artists! Can’t wait to play out there again… and maybe add a little sumthin’-sumthin’ to my Cory collection.

For those who have been to my Holiday Home Show… you’ve already seen my Cory McCrory Shrine!!! And for those who come to ART IN THE GARDEN in September… Cory is my favorite “collaborator” for that show too! Always creative… always an inspiration!

Fresh from the soda kiln… I will be bringing plenty of my “hybrid mugs” to the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR!!! Wheelthrown bottom, handbuilt sides, re-thrown & trimmed on the wheel… back & forth a couple times! Looking forward to seeing everyone on the Pottery Tour!
