Just a reminder that this weekend is ART IN THE BARN in Barrington.
My largest art fair with a DOUBLE BOOTH full of pottery!!!

And for those of you who might be scared-off by the weather…
I’m indoors as are the majority of the artists! So you can enjoy the day,
see some wonderful art and jump inside one of the Barns if the weather takes a turn!
Hope to see you this weekend!!!

Mark your calendar to come out to The Barn this weekend for my biggest “outdoor” art fair of the year!!! Technically I’m inside the Lower Barn E4-E6 with an open wall, so not quite “outdoors”… but I do have a DOUBLE BOOTH!!! More than twice as much pottery as a normal art fair. Including some festive fall items like pumpkins, jack-o’-lanterns and the latest addition to The Ghouls Collection!!! Come on out to Barrington this weekend for ART IN THE BARN on the grounds of Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital. Hope to see you there Saturday or Sunday from 10:00am-5:00pm!

Okay, jack o’lanterns done for now… still needing a bit of clean-up, a touch of underglaze and some clear low-fire glaze before the hit the kiln! But until then… I really, REALLY have to focus on those new “ghouls” for this year’s addition to “The Ghouls Collection.” Enough procrastinating… you’d think this is some sort of “fly by night” operation here!!!

Okay, so I know I’m “supposed” to be working on the latest addition to “The Ghouls Collection” for next weekend at ART IN THE BARN. But somehow these pumpkins just keep popping up?!!! Not too shabby since I just threw these guys yesterday, huh?!

Last night while I was soda firing, a few of these little cuties “sprouted” in my studio.
Still need a bit of underglaze colors and a firing before showing up next weekend
at ART IN THE BARN!!! Saturday, September 28th & Sunday, September 29th
on the grounds of Advocate Good Shepherd Hospital in Barrington, Illinois.

Just “a few” more mugs for the kiln…
hoping to have them all ready for ART IN THE BARN on September 28th & 29th.
You know they’re my favorite thing to make…
which is perfect for another Mugshot Monday!

Special THANKS to everyone who came out to ART IN THE GARDEN this weekend. Especially to my Dad who made his “triumphant return” to the art fair circuit after the passing of my Mom last month. Not only did he help put in my booth, but my artist-friends also helped celebrate his 80th Birthday!!!

We’re just one day away from ART IN THE GARDEN!!!
Nine talented artists & friends getting together to host their own grassroots art fair in Glenview, Illinois. Be sure to stop by Saturday 9/7 or Sunday 9/8 from 10:00am-5:00pm to see all of the amazing work… including some spectacular collaboration projects that we’ve all been working on for weeks!!! It’s a great chance to meet the artists in a much more intimate art fair setting… it’s in Amy’s backyard garden!!!

ART IN THE GARDEN
A wonderful grassroots art fair thrown together by a bunch of talented friends & artists. So much fun to have a smaller event that gives everyone time to chat, hang out and really get to see everything! Plus, several of the artists are working on collaboration projects with each other… an opportunity to work together and mix medias that don’t always get to play together! So much fun to see what everyone comes up with. We hope you can join us this weekend, September 7th & 8th from 10:00am-5:00pm in Glenview, Illinois.
