Counting the days until THE NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR… and Kenyon Hansen will also be one of the Guest Potters at Cory McCrory’s studio in Sandwich, Illinois. Kenyon’s pots are pretty darn amazing… and already part of my own personal collection! Well-crafted, clean lines, amazing glazes & great style. I know I can’t wait to see more of his current work, and quite possibly add more to my collection… and you should too!

Big THANKS to everyone who came out to the HINSDALE FINE ARTS FESTIVAL this weekend. It was great to see everyone again, sell some pottery & hangout in the park in what turned out to be beautiful weather. Plus, now I have another bunch of flowers leftover from my booth display…. now gracing my back porch in a stamped soda-fired vase!

If only they would still be fresh next weekend for THE NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR… but I kinda doubt it…

So the big tree that shades my booth at the HINSDALE FINE ARTS FESTIVAL is gone!!! Apparently it blew & fell down earlier this week…better than happening today, right?! Luckily, it’s a beautiful cloudy day… so we’re all good in Booth #69 today!

Just a quick reminder that this weekend is the HINSDALE FINE ARTS FESTIVAL in Burlington Park in downtown beautiful Hinsdale. I will setting up my tent & filling it with pottery in my usual space Booth #69… typically while enjoying a nice breeze under the big shade tree!!! So come on out Saturday or Sunday for some summer art fair fun!

Another weekend. Another art fair. This weekend I’ll be setting up my booth & my pottery in Hinsdale for the HINSDALE FINE ARTS FESTIVAL… in the same booth space as always! Under the tree, in the shade with a nice breeze! Hope you can make it out… it’s a fun show with a lot of great artists participating!

Looks like my uber-talented buddy Cory McCrory has been extra busy in her studio getting ready for the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR! Some adorable critters scurrying around to find a spicy S&P tray! Can’t wait to share her studio location as one of her guests for the tour. We would love to see you on June 11th & 12th. Kick off your tour in Sandwich, Illinois and work your way back to the Aurora, Villa Park and finally Chicago tour locations.
