Signatures Originals Show Dec. 5-15

I'm set up for the Signatures Originals Show, ready to open tomorrow morning.  My 5' x 10' booth is chalk full of colourful, functional pottery, and will be my home for the next 10 days (closed Monday)!  Looks like I've got some great neighbours around me, and I look forward to welcoming customers throughout the show.

613Christmas

Looking forward to this great Christmas show!  I'm busy glazing & firing new pots to take along!

Glebe Craft and Artisan Fair

Me and my pots are hanging out at the Glebe Craft and Artisan Fair this week-end.  A wonderful show in a wonderful neighbourhood!

Guelph Potters Market

I'm looking forward to being back in Guelph this week-end for the Guelph Potters Holiday Market.  I'll have lots of butter pots and garlic graters along, as well as some new serving trays for holiday entertaining!

                                                                                                                                                                 

Nepean Sportsplex Christmas Craft Show

Hard to believe that Christmas shows have started already but it's true!  I'm all set up for the Nepean Sportsplex Show which starts tomorrow.  Garlic pots aplenty, and so much more!  Everyone is on one level this year, making it easier to find all your favourite vendors.  I'm in Booth #507.

Art in Strathcona Park tomorrow!

Looking forward to a nice day in the park at Strathcona tomorrow.  This is probably my last show in Ottawa until the fall.  I'll be busy making new pots between now and then!

Bancroft Summer Art and Craft Show this week-end

Time flies!  This will be my TENTH year at this show in Bancroft.  I always bring some seconds along to Bancroft and this year is no exception.  I've got a set of dinner plates, serving bowls and mugs, among other things, that have small flaws but would be perfect for the cottage!  

Haliburton Art & Craft Festival July 26-28

Looking forward to being part of the Haliburton Art and Craft Festival once again July 26-28. It's in a lovely park setting at Head Lake.  Haliburton is a great location for this Festival, being the home of Fleming College's Haliburton School of Art and Design.  

613flea on Saturday!

It's another 613flea day on Saturday and you will find me there with lots of berry bowls, vases, butter pots, mugs, goblets, serving bowls, etc.  Check it out if you're in the area!

Annual Studio Sale this Saturday

I'm doing a deep clean in the studio and will be opening the doors to my backyard studio (& setting up a tent) for this annual sale.  There will be a wide range of colourful, functional pottery available, as well as lots of seconds that will be priced to sell!

These serving dishes are a few of the seconds available.  Small imperfections in the glaze, but both still functional.

The New Art Festival June 8 & 9

Looking forward to a summery week-end in Central Park!  Below are a few of the new pots I'll be bringing with me.

Mugs & covered casserole in some new white/grey combos I've been trying out.  

The pasta bowls are available in yellow, blue and white/grey too.  They're great for a meal in a bowl...not just pasta! 

I haven't made this type of butter dish for awhile, but made a few extra for a special order.

The Happening Artspark

Well, The Happenning Artspark happened on Saturday--a cool but rain-free day. Yay!  Thanks to everyone who came out and enjoyed all the arts activities, and for picking up some pottery!

Guelph Potters Market next week!

Looking forward to joining the Potters Market gang once again.  I hear that there will be over 70 potters from throughout the province and beyond setting up their wares in Royal City Park.  This market has become a great showcase of  the wide variety of work that is being created from clay.  Not to be missed if you're a pottery lover in the area!

Thanks for coming to the NAC Mothers Day Market!

It was a beautiful day for the Mothers Day Market, in a gorgeous setting--the Atrium of the National Arts Centre in downtown Ottawa.  Rumour has it that there may be a Christmas market in the same location....stay tuned!

Mothers Day Craft Market at the NAC on Saturday!

Looking forward to this one-off market in the NAC Atrium on Saturday.  I'll have lots of gifts suitable for the special mother in your life!

Ottawa Guild of Potters Spring Sale

Looking forward to participating in the Ottawa Guild of Potters spring sale once again this year.  They will have pottery demos, live music, kids' clay area, and more.  Also coffee & snacks available and admission is free!  The Horticulture Building is a lovely space with lots of natural light--a relaxing setting in which to look for Mother's Day gifts, Father's Day gifts, teacher gifts, wedding gifts or something for yourself!

613flea for Easter!

I'll have egg cups, vases, and serving platters suitable for Easter entertaining!  This is my first 613flea market this year, and I plan to attend several more, as I'm able.  Will post a note like this on the blog and my facebook page to let you know.

Signatures Originals Spring Craft Sale

I'm busy getting ready for my first show of the season.  Same show I've done for many years, but with new branding.  Now called the Signatures Originals Spring Craft Sale, still at the EY Centre.  This year I'll be in booth #524, on the way to the food vendors!

2019 welcome!

2019 is off to a good start.  I plan to work on more new forms and colours I began introducing last year.  I won't be abandoning old forms and colours completely, but I'm thinking it may be a transition year....we shall see what unfolds!

I hope to have my 2019 show schedule updated sometime next month.
