Just twelve hours away… the kick-off of today’s online pottery sale ONLY on my Fire When Ready Pottery Facebook page!

Starting at 7:00pm CST tonight on my Facebook page… so be sure to set a reminder, click in and do some shopping before your favorite mug is gone!!!

Just a few “teaser shots” of the mugs that will be up for sale in my POP-UP POTTERY SALE only on my Fire When Ready Pottery Facebook page tomorrow night. You can only claim them online when I post the official Facebook Photo Album at 7:00pm CST on Sunday 6/7/20. Set a reminder for yourself, do a little window shopping now so you can swoop-in and grab your favorite tomorrow night on my Facebook page!

As this weekend was “supposed to be” the Hinsdale Fine Arts Festival… which was “pandemic-postponed” until the middle of August with fingers crossed… I’ve decided to host a little pop-up sale on my Fire When Ready Pottery Facebook page with some of the bright & colorful new pieces I’ve been working on. Pottery which would have been on display this weekend in Hinsdale… but instead, we’re going to go online! Check my Facebook page tomorrow evening at 7:00pm CST for the kick-off – Sunday 6/7/20!

And sure, looks like we have PERFECT WEATHER this weekend… when does that ever happen for an outdoor art fair?! Really?! I can’t wait until we can really get together for a “real” art fair again… I miss seeing everyone!!!

While everyone was quarantined during this corona-craziness, Lillstreet Art Center created a page on their website to help some of their artists during the tough times. Knowing that many of us were facing cancelled art fairs, loss of teaching gigs and no workshops… they created MADE AT LILLSTREET. An online gallery featuring several of their “in-house” artists, teachers & studio members. Please feel free to click on this link to see my current offerings through the Lillstreet Gallery.

Spent a lot of this afternoon photographing more pieces…
in my kitchen with my little photo booth set-up!

I’m thinking that since this coming weekend “would have been” another art fair weekend… so instead maybe I should post more pieces for another online sale on my Fire When Ready Facebook page?! More details to come…

Well, this weekend was “supposed to be” the Schaumburg Prairie Arts Festival… which was of course CANCELLED due to all of this corona-craziness! Sadly, no art fairs this weekend! So I’m going online with a new “socially distant” set of mugs from A to Z!!!

So I”m hosting an online sale only on my Fire When Ready Pottery FACEBOOK PAGE! Same as usual… the first person to claim a mug in the Facebook Photo Album by putting “MINE” in the Comments section of each mug photo will get that mug! I’ve also added the “back side” of each mug in the inset photo so you can picture it better as some of them have dramatic flashing effects. I will then follow with a message & shipping details. Each mug is food-safe, dishwasher-safe and $55… which includes packing & shipping with the continuous US.

So start shopping on Facebook… although I know it’s NOT the same as shopping in person at the art fair! I am already missing all of your friendly faces, chatting with everyone & hanging outside with all of my art fair friends!

Hopefully we’ll get to squeeze in one or two actual art fairs a bit later in the summer season?! Until then, stay safe, stay healthy and pretend this is an art fair ONLINE!!! Thanks!

Here’s the selection of mugs… but remember…
you can ONLY claim them on my Fire When Ready Pottery Facebook page!!!

More MUGS for Memorial Day Weekend… coming soon in a “flash online sale” to a Facebook page near you!!! Details very soon… quite possibly at 10:30am this morning… just sayin’…

So this weekend was supposed to be “ART-A-WHIRL” up in Minneapolis… a big studio tour & art sale in the Twin Cities. And I was planning on being the Guest Artist of my friend & amazing metalsmith Sarah Chapman before this corona-craziness shut us all down!

Want to see more of Sarah’s work… click here!

Needless to say, I’m NOT in Minneapolis, and Sarah’s studio is not open for the tour. But she is hosting a “virtual” tour on her website! So if you’re looking for some amazingly cool jewelry to spruce up your “quarantine look” – check-out the link below for more info! Her work is incredible… I just wish I were there in person this weekend to play with Sarah… while we both would be showing off our wares! Maybe next year?!

Click here to shop Sarah’s website of beautiful things!!!

Okay, so here we go…
With art fairs being cancelled left & right, we’re all figuring out different ways to get our work out there. You know I LOVE art fairs… but desperate times call for desperate measures! So I’ve created a little online pottery store on my website. Nothing hi-tech, we’re staying old-school. Just a bunch of pieces & photos with a short descriptions.

If you see something you want, shoot me an e-mail to claim it and I’ll remove it from the website selection. First come, first-served. Full details on my blog. And then in the next few days I’ll start replenishing the “store” as pieces get shipped out. We’ll see how this goes… my fingers are crossed… it’s a learning curve for all of us, so please be patient!
