Here's me up in Northern Minnesota 1/3 of the way through the new Harry Potter book. Seem not only apropos but a bit too self referential. It was a quiet time and a good week. I met Sue Chernak from Ledgerock Pottery, a new pottery in Ely and have been able to share some cone 6 recipies with her.

I have two street fairs coming up, one with the Avenue Shops Sept 15th and 16th (Lake and Oak Park ave in Oak Park) and another at the Oak Park Art District (Harrison Street) Oct. 6th and 7th.

I did take a bunch of pictures of pottery in museums while Ming and I were in China earlier in the summer. Some of the terra cotta figures and some more traditional pots. I will put some of them up in the gallery soon.

I hope to set up  an online store capability so you can order direct.  The only trick is to figure out which pots I still have and where there are so I can mark the right ones. Many have been given to friends, some sold, some I or Ming won't part with.  Some pots are in Unique Freaque (link in links) with pictures there. Some will be in Two Fish soon. They sold all the pots I had given them earlier in the year.

I want this blog to also be a surrogate for a guest book, so if your here and want to wave hello, blog on.
