Sleeping blog - new information on the way!

So I have been sleeping a bit in the blog department. Things have gotten a bit busy in the 'making pottery' world. I have been accepted into numerous shows for the summer - schedule to be posted soon! -- as well as have begun using my own studio space. I can't wait to share some photos with you of the new space. Come back soon and take a look.

Update on the recent days of DLP

So my days and weeks are filled with applying to shows for the spring and summer, as well as organizing the business paperwork and advertising. I have also been spending numerous hours making pots - to stock up for the upcoming events. I am working to fulfill the orders placed at the Living and Giving show in Chicago that I attended mid January. And....yep, waiting for YOU to place an order or stop by to pick up some great pots!

Some of my favorites

Beneath the Wreath

I will be selling my pottery this weekend at Beneath the Wreath, a fundraising event for the Junior League of Grand Rapids. This will be my 3rd year at the show. I look forward to seeing past customers and vendor friends. It runs Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Come and take a look - get inspired for the holiday season. The information on this show can be found at the following link -- http://www.juniorleaguegr.com/fr_2.asp

Wish you were here

So, you are wondering about my experience at Ox-Bow right? Well, two of my works from the week residency are now on display at the Holland Area Arts Council in an exhibt entitled "Wish you were here!" It is an exhibit of work from many different artists who spent residency time at Ox-Bow. The Arts Council is located at 150 East 8th Street in Holland. The show runs from November 1 till December 1. We attended the opening reception and enjoyed our time seeing all the different works created in the past summer and year.

Another show - done!

I just returned last night from Novi, Michigan where I completed yet another show....The Sugarloaf Art Fair at the Rock Financial Showplace. The weather was beautiful this weekend. That was a nice surprise, but I think it kept people away from the show, as it was inside! The link for this show is as follows -- http://www.sugarloafcrafts.com/

I am back in GR now, planning and working towards the November and December shows on my agenda. Christmas time is coming!
