Special thanks to everyone who came out to the SCHAUMBURG PRAIRIE ARTS FESTIVAL this weekend. It was so good to see everyone. Plus a special Mugshot Monday for these two mugs… and the many others that found new homes at the art fair!!!


Can’t wait to show-off these new pitchers as I’m finishing up my pricing & packing.
These were all in my soda-kiln a couple weeks ago… but of course I wait until the day before to clean & price them. Ha!!!
They’ll be coming to the SCHAUMBURG PRAIRIE ARTS FESTIVAL
on Saturday & Sunday from 10:00am-5:00pm… rain or shine! Hope to see you there!!!











Pricing & packing for this weekend’s PRAIRIE ARTS FESTIVAL in Schaumburg!
Sure, there’s a chance of rain… but pottery only shines better when it’s wet, right?!
And if the weather gets too bad, maybe it’s a good thing these soda-fired flower pots
have drainage holes???



Well lookey here.. one of my advanced beginner students Michelle has been working hard to make a nice plate… and by golly, she sure did!!! Of course I LOVE everything about it. Not that I had much “influence” on her… but it sure is a great plate Mish Dish!!!


Another mug from my last soda kiln for Mugshot Monday…
headed to Schaumburg this weekend for the Schaumburg Prairie Arts Festival
on Saturday & Sunday from 10:00am-5:00pm.


Fresh from the soda kiln last week… perfect for Mugshot Monday!


If that first batch of larger lidded jars was pretty sweet,
then these even smaller ones are even SWEETER ones!!!
Especially when you fill them with M&M’s!!!








Fresh from my soda kiln… a fun batch of lidded jars destined for my next two art fairs in Schaumburg & Hinsdale! Some fun colors & flashing effects… just showing that soda-fired pottery doesn’t always have to be crusty-brown or blasted-gray!!!







Just in time for Spring… another flower pot fresh from the soda kiln!
