Next weekend I’ll be hosting MUD & METAL : A Collaborative Holiday Home Show at my place. It’s another great chance to mark some people off your holiday gift list. Plenty of pottery for everyone… and beautiful jewelry made by My Talented Friend Amy Taylor! Just a week away… it’s next Saturday & Sunday!

Just a quick reminder… we’re kicking off the holiday season tomorrow night at Lillstreet Art Center. Another great chance to do some handmade holiday shopping… whether in the Lillstreet Gallery or in one of the many Open Studio spaces. I will be in my Studio 205W on the second floor with plenty of handmade MUGS for everyone on your holiday shopping list!

Just in case you missed out on my first HOLIDAY HOME SHOW… I’m doing it again! This time with my metalsmith friend Amy Taylor with all of her beautiful jewelry. Even more gift options for everyone on your holiday shopping list! Mark your calendar… and start making your gift list!

MUD & METAL Holiday Home Show
Saturday 12/10 & Sunday 12/11 – 10am-6pm

Looks like Diane started a wonderful dinnerware set at the first Holiday Home Show… an eclectic set of dishes… similar in style, but not so matchy-matchy! If you want to start a set too, there will be a SECOND HOLIDAY HOME SHOW on December 10th & 11th. Mark your calendars… more details to come!

Setting up my studio with plenty of mugs, mugs & more mugs for this Friday’s HOLIDAY PARTY at Lillstreet. I’ll have plenty of mugs to start your holiday shopping… but if you’re looking for more than just mugs, keep in mind that there will be a SECOND HOLIDAY HOME SHOW on December 10th & 11th.

If you’re looking for some great handmade holiday gifts this year, mark your calendar for this Friday evening from 5:00-8:00pm for the LILLSTREET HOLIDAY PARTY! I’ll be there for the festivities… with plenty of MUGS in my studio for everyone on your holiday list!

Looks like Rachel has been making a yummy pot of warm soup and a chilly & damp Sunday afternoon. Luckily, she has a new stamped & soda-fired spoon rest to keep her stove clean!

And yes, if the dishes on Chris’s Thanksgiving table look familiar… that’s because she just picked up her special order dinner plates the night before Thanksgiving! Just in time for the big holiday feast! She requested a set of dinner plates that are all different… different stamps, different squiggles, different coloring… but at the same time would still “read” together as a group.

Remember, your pottery collection does not need to be all matchy-matchy…

A little pre-dinner photo of Chris’ Thanksgiving table from yesterday. A beautiful placesetting just waiting for an amazing feast to be shared with friends & family. Homemade food always tastes better on handmade pottery… make it part of your holiday traditions!

Looks like a beautiful morning for Day Two of my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW. Shelves have been replenished and ready to go! Stop by today from 10:00am-6:00pm… bring a friend & your gift list!!!
