Three Weeks, Three Shows, Three Cities

As much as I enjoyed the past two months of uninterrupted studio time, I'm ready to get started with my Spring and Summer festival season. I've planned a very ambitions season, with three shows in May, one in June, and two or three more in July. It all starts this weekend!

A-RTS Rockville Town Square Arts Festival
Rockville, MD
Saturday May 3, 11am - 6pm
Sunday May 4, 11am - 5pm
The festival will close down the streets in Rockville Town Square. My booth number is 239 on E. Middle Lane.

Pennsylvania Guild Fine Craft Fair
Philadelphia, PA
Friday May 9, 11am - 7pm
Saturday May 10, 11am - 7pm
Sunday May 11, 11am - 5pm
Located in Rittenhouse Square in downtown Philadelphia. My booth number is 139.

Art Outside
Baltimore, MD
Sunday May 18, 11am - 5pm
Artists will set up around the Druid Hill Reservoir, just like they did in the 50s and 60s.


It was a difficult winter, but thankfully it's over now. Can I interest you in a birdhouse?

The joy of having a studio to all to yourself.

My production output has increased dramatically in the last year or so. Among other things, I need to make a lot more dinner plates. Plates are cumbersome to dry, because they need so much footprint space. Once they are bone dry, I can stack them four high, which makes them efficient again. But during those drying days, they are a pain. I thought I needed to add more shelving to my studio, just to accommodate the drying plates. I didn't want more furniture, because I think the layout and flow of my studio is pretty darn perfect already. Also, I don't make plates every day. I make them every few weeks, and then I'll crank out a few dozen at a time. Therefore, a permanent change in furniture didn't make sense. The right solution hit me with an "aha!" My spacious studio already contained the answer. When you have a studio all to yourself, you can use the floor for drying plates.
