Looks like Cory has one last batch of colorful fun to wash with underglazes, glaze & fire quickly for this weekend at ART IN THE GARDEN. I’ve been enamored with Cory McCrory, her work, her textures & her whimsy ever since we met at the Hinsdale Fine Arts Fair several years ago… and we’ve been fast friends ever since! So much fun to have talented friends!!!

What a difference a little underglaze can make?!!!
A whimsical “paint-job” by my “cohort in collaborations” Cory McCrory on her bowls for this weekend at ART IN THE GARDEN. We’ve been working on this little project for awhile now… and now we’re both in our final kiln firings!!! Getting ready to put our collaboration pieces together in Glenview for every one to see!

With ART IN THE GARDEN this weekend… we’ve all been scrambling to get our work ready, especially our collaboration projects!!! Part of what makes this show so special. And it looks like Cory has been working on building and putting some finishing touches on her part of our collaboration project – racing to get everything into a kiln!!! Can’t wait to see everything when it all comes together this Saturday & Sunday in Glenview!

Just finishing up a second batch… racing for the kiln…
prepping & producing & pottery-ing for ART IN THE GARDEN next weekend!!!

Drilling holes… making patterns… cranking out a few more pieces just in time for ART IN THE GARDEN this coming weekend! It’s gonna be tight… but I’m confident. Especially with the extra “pressure” of doing some collaboration pieces with my cohort Cory McCrory!!!

Playing with power tools again in the studio…
what better way to make clean holes than with a power drill???

Looks like it’s a fresh-picked morning in Pittsburgh!

Under wraps waiting to be trimmed… a few more bowls for my ART IN THE GARDEN collaboration project!

Looks like Cory was busy in her studio yesterday working on some of the parts of our collaboration project for ART IN THE GARDEN. We’re each making pieces that will “somehow” come together for the big reveal the last weekend of August in Glenview for our grassroots art fair!
