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!!!

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!
