Whimsical illustrations with kind of a groovy retro vibe by Nancy Gardner…another one of the potters at the Sandwich location of the NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR.

Our pottery tour host Cory McCrory has a line-up mugs standing at the ready… and lots of other amazing pots in her tent! All ready for another day of pottery fun!

We’re now just 40-hours away from the kick-off of NORTHERN ILLINOIS POTTERY TOUR… not that I’m counting… but just a quick reminder, and a fun map to help you find all of the Pottery Tour locations! From west to east the tour would be Sandwich, Aurora, Villa Park & Chicago. I will be at the Sandwich location at my friend Cory McCrory’s studio, along with four other talented potters!

When passing the shelves of student’s glazed works last night, I was taken by this beautiful plate! Striking details accentuated with a wonderful ombre blend of sprayed glazes. So fun to see that it was made by one of my former students who seems to have succumb to the “more is more” mantra… and is killin’ it!!! This plate is beautiful Kimberly… so pretty that I moved it up to “The Show-Off Shelves”!!! Well done… and make MORE!!!
