Spring is here and so is our first art fair of 2025: The Other Art Fair (Chicago).
Last fall, BlackTree Studio Pottery received an invitation from The Other Art Fair, an event typically reserved for "fine art," to apply for a new initiative launching in 2025 called Artisan Edit. It will feature artists who work with glass, ceramics, or wood—mediums traditionally associated with crafts.
Imagine the potential: vases, bowls, decorative plates, and sculptures will take center stage, while cookware, dinnerware, and mugs are excluded. We love the concept. This opportunity allows Steve to shift the focus from his well-known and beloved functional pieces to his bold, experimental ceramic works.

Stoneware Collections to Pre-Order
What is a Pre-Order?
We are a small studio, and we like to custom make each piece rather than guess what will sell. We will ship them out to you in about 4 weeks. As a valuable customer, we keep you informed on the progress of your order, from the its creation to its final firing. Thanks for your understanding.
Come visit us, even if it's March
Our "vest-pocket" gallery is open all month. Please give us a call at 773-318-9161, to make sure we're here (and we usually are). We will be working in the studio and would be happy to show you our process and our latest work. And the dogs will give you a BIG welcome!
