Hope you’re all having a wonderful Halloween today!
Pull out your best costume, go snag some candy & have a great time!!!
Stay safe & keep your feet on the ground as we have CRAZY winds
blowing through Chicago today!!!

I know we’re all focused on Ghouls…
but some of the new mini-pumpkins are pretty adorable too!

The pumpkin patch is ready to harvest this weekend in Barrington! Fresh out of the soda kiln… plenty of clay pumpkins in assorted sizes. Even a few without warts for those “select few”… and you know who you are!

Packed with pumpkins! Just another bisque kiln getting ready for next weekend’s ART IN THE BARN! Plenty of new hybrid mugs & pumpkins of all sizes after my next soda kiln firing!

Last night in my Intermediate Wheel pottery class, we started a new session and I had no planned demo for the first night. So I left it open for a fun “demo-on-demand” night… and they asked for PUMPKINS!!! Easy for me… I’ve made “a few”!! But we did have to speed it along a bit to “pumpkintize” them in class when the thrown spheres were wetter than I usually do. It worked… but they’re a bit frumpier, glumpier & I’m kinda diggin’ it!!! We might be onto something here?!

And speaking of pumpkins… this was my night last night after the art fair…
a late night making more pumpkins for ART IN THE BARN!!!

You may have heard a “rumor” here on my social media… that this weekend is ART IN THE GARDEN in Glenview. I’m all set-up & re-stocked for Day Two… including the pumpkin patch that was “fully harvested” yesterday!!! So… MORE pumpkins today!!!
