Spent the day today hanging out with my uber-talented metalsmith friend Sarah Chapman at the ONE OF A KIND SHOW today. She makes such beautiful jewelry with amazing designs, textures, stones & craftsmanship. If you have a chance tomorrow, be sure to swing by the Merchandise Mart to say hello! I’ll be down there helping Sarah again tomorrow in Booth #2118.

Just a quick reminder… we’re kicking off the holiday season tomorrow night at Lillstreet Art Center. Another great chance to do some handmade holiday shopping… whether in the Lillstreet Gallery or in one of the many Open Studio spaces. I will be in my Studio 205W on the second floor with plenty of handmade MUGS for everyone on your holiday shopping list!

Just in case you missed out on my first HOLIDAY HOME SHOW… I’m doing it again! This time with my metalsmith friend Amy Taylor with all of her beautiful jewelry. Even more gift options for everyone on your holiday shopping list! Mark your calendar… and start making your gift list!

MUD & METAL Holiday Home Show
Saturday 12/10 & Sunday 12/11 – 10am-6pm

Looks like Diane started a wonderful dinnerware set at the first Holiday Home Show… an eclectic set of dishes… similar in style, but not so matchy-matchy! If you want to start a set too, there will be a SECOND HOLIDAY HOME SHOW on December 10th & 11th. Mark your calendars… more details to come!

Setting up my studio with plenty of mugs, mugs & more mugs for this Friday’s HOLIDAY PARTY at Lillstreet. I’ll have plenty of mugs to start your holiday shopping… but if you’re looking for more than just mugs, keep in mind that there will be a SECOND HOLIDAY HOME SHOW on December 10th & 11th.

If you’re looking for some great handmade holiday gifts this year, mark your calendar for this Friday evening from 5:00-8:00pm for the LILLSTREET HOLIDAY PARTY! I’ll be there for the festivities… with plenty of MUGS in my studio for everyone on your holiday list!

You can always tell if it was a successful show based on the number of hot apple cider mugs are in the dishwasher… and how many times you need to run it!!!

Looks like a beautiful morning for Day Two of my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW. Shelves have been replenished and ready to go! Stop by today from 10:00am-6:00pm… bring a friend & your gift list!!!

A quick thanks to everyone who came out today for Day One of my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW! It was so much fun seeing so many people today… watching so many pots head out as people started their holiday shopping! Great fun chatting, telling stories, sharing my passion & explaining some “secrets” of the pottery world. Don’t forget that after a little overnight replenishing, we’re back at it again tomorrow from 10:00am-6:00pm. Hope you can make it!

Fresh from the kiln… one beautiful purple platter for this weekend’ HOLIDAY HOME SHOW! Full stamped with a beautiful aubergine purple glaze. There’s only one… and it might go fast?! No dibs… just first come, first served!!! Good luck…
