I’ve spent a good part of the day trying to glaze 3 color handmade tiles for an exterior application (stair risers). So far it’s gone slowly, as each color has to be applied using a sprayer and hand shielded with templates so there’s reduced overspray.

The holidays are just around the corner and I’m working my tail off to bring you beautiful new work for dressing up your table, gifting to your friends and family, or decorating your home.
I’ll be in several shows around Oregon this fall so want you to get out your calendars to find the one(s) closest to you!
November 15th -December 24th at Pioneer Place Shopping Mall, Lower Level Suite 1200, the OPA (Oregon Potters Assn.) will once again be bringing together over 70 potters in one shop to offer you handmade ceramic goodies for all. We’ll be potter-staffed from 11am-7am everyday (except Thanksgiving).
Next, I’ll be back down in S. Oregon for the annual Clayfolk Pottery Show and Sale at the Medford Armory. Friday Nov. 22-Sunday the 24th. Always free, and always a fun community event.
The following weekend you can find me back in Portland for the OPA Holiday Fair at Portland Nursery on Stark St. Friday Nov. 29th – Sunday Dec. 1st. with at least 50 of your favorite artists celebrating “Small Business Saturday” all weekend long. Let’s stick it to Jeff Bezos and buy all handmade/local gifts this year!
Last but not least, I’’m hoping to get into the Hannukah Craft Fair at Leikam Brewery in SE Portland for a sweet one day event on Sunday Dec. 8th. From 1-6 pm you can imbibe while you shop several local artisans and makers. Wrap up your holidays, then sit down and enjoy your neighborhood community! Themed and non-themed goods will be available.
