Etsy

I have started a new Etsy site to sell my pottery. Come check it out! My featured items are some bottles and other vessels with some new glazes I have been playing with. They are turquoise, teal, gray, and white. They have been fired in a special way to create a surface that is matte and textural with snow-flake-like crystals.

August First Friday also a Success!

WOW...
We had another wonderful turnout for the August First Friday Studio Tour of the Central Illinois Artists Organization (CIAO) at the Murray Center. There are now nine CIAO artists with studios at the Murray Center and four guest CIAO artists who show their work in a host studio at the Center. We are proud to be one of the eight locations on the CIAO Studio Tour.

AND.....
We now have banner signage to help direct you to our portion of the Studio Tour designed by Murray Center artist Susan Galloway. Thank you so much Susan for lending your expertise.You will also notice CIAO sandwich boards at the front door and at the corners of Washington and Walnut as well as Water and Walnut.

Mark your calendar! The next First Friday Studio Tour is Sept. 2nd, 5-9pm. You will always find something new each month, whether it be events such as demo's and raffles or a new piece of art you NEED to take home, you'll find it along the Tour of CIAO studios!
