'Tis the season

The Amur Maple and Dogwood trees are both turning red. I've baked my third apple pie--well, one was for the Club Mud potluck. Wearing long pants. Wool socks. I could see my breath setting up at Saturday Market last weekend.

Yep, definitely Fall.

Which means a few things.

First, my Fall shows are coming up fast. I'm sorting pots and preparing for Clay Fest, happening October 11-13 at the Lane Events Center Auditorium. Replacing all my price stickers--they've gone to bar codes for faster checkout. And I'm also in the studio, throwing pots for a late October firing, getting ready for Clayfolk, November 22-24 at the Medford Armory, down in Southern Oregon.

Second, my time at the outdoor Saturday Market is going to be very limited. I'll definitely be there October 5, but probably will not be out again for the remainder of the season. Studio time is just too precious. I will be back once again at Holiday Market, after Clayfolk. Look for me Friday, November 29, staying through the remainder of the show, right up to Christmas Eve.

And third, if you have any ideas for Christmas special orders, get them to me now. I'll only have two more firings before Christmas, and both will be packed with work for Clayfolk and Holiday Market. Contact me to discuss your gift-giving needs. The earlier I have your request, the more likely I'll be able to fill it.
