With the big launch of the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR just two days away… I thought it might be nice to share the spotlight with a few of “My Talented Friends.” The tour will feature twenty-one talented potters each with a different approach & aesthetic. The tour is “virtual” this year with each artist selling their work online. In addition, there will be live demos & presentations on ZOOM… as well as some great giveaways! For more information… www.northernilpotterytour.com

And just in case you’ve missed it somehow, I will be launching my new ETSY SHOP this Friday morning at 8:00am… www.etsy.com/shop/FireWhenReadyPottery . There’s nothing posted there yet, but you can probably tag, follow or bookmark so you’re ready for the big kick-off Friday morning!!!
