Apparently the Glenview Summer Art Fair was featured in the Daily Herald newspaper this weekend. And it appears as though there just may be some pottery featured in the article! Kind of exciting… especially as it seems like she’s REALLY enjoying my work!!!

And another big congratulations to “My Talented Friend”… and art fair booth neighbor… amazing metalsmith Amy Taylor who received an “Award Of Excellence” ribbon this weekend at the Glenview Summer Art Fair.

Not only will Amy be with us at ART IN THE GARDEN… she’s also the host… as we’ll all be setting up our grassroots art fair event once again in her backyard garden on September 11th & 12th. Mark your calendars!

And yes, Tom will be there too & up to his usual antics!!!

Huge congratulations to “My Talented Friend” Mary Foster who won BEST OF SHOW this weekend at the Glenview Summer Art Fair! Her paintings & woodcut prints are beautiful, colorful & whimsical. So excited to have her with us as part of ART IN THE GARDEN… my next art fair in early September! More details to come… and CONGRATS again Mary!

All set-up & re-stocked for Day Two of the GLENVIEW SUMMER ART FAIR. It looks like another beautiful & warm summer day… even nicer under my shade tree with a gentle breeze! Customers are already starting to show up early… so here we go until 5:00pm. Giddy-up!

Quiet & warm. Humid & still. Not a lot of clouds… but some nice reflections shimmering on the morning lake. Once again, a beautiful way to start the day… before I head back to the GLENVIEW SUMMER ART FAIR for Day Two!!!

Day One of the GLENVIEW SUMMER ART FAIR is done!
It was a bit warm today, but I have a great booth spot in the shade with a great breeze all day! So nice to be back outside at a live art fair with great customers & friends stopping by!

Not too bad… until the storm rolled through to cut-off the last hour of our show! It’s never a good sign when everyone gets an alert to their iPhones of an imminent thunderstorm warning in the area!!! Clouds, wind, rain… but not enough to cause any damage!

All good… and looking forward to another good day tomorrow! I hope you have a chance to stop by to see me in Booth #39 from 11:00am-5:00pm tomorrow!

Just a quick reminder… I’ll be setting up my tent & filling it with pottery this weekend for the Glenview Summer Art Fair. It’s supposed to be warm this weekend, but rumor has it my booth will be conveniently located under a nice shade tree!

Well, we’re just one week away from my next outdoor art fair…
THE GLENVIEW SUMMER ART FAIR.

So excited to get back out again to show off some pottery, to see some more of my loyal groupies & friends! We’re on the corner of Lake Street & Glenview Avenue on the grounds of Lyon Elementary School. Mark your calendars… hope to see you there next weekend!

With one big “commission” batch of mugs finally done… I’m already working on the next batch! You know how much I LOVE making mugs. I’m going to try to rush these through the process a bit to get them done in time for my next art fair… The Glenview Summer Art Fair in a week and a half! Fingers crossed…

Well, it’s Day Three of the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR… the final day… and there’s still plenty of time to curb your pottery addiction! Twenty-one ceramic artists with a wide range of styles, techniques & aesthetics. You can find them all through the Pottery Tour website… www.northernilpotterytour.com
