57th Street Art Fair ~ June 5 & 6 ~ Booth #714
For Steve and me, this show marks the beginning of the summer art fair season. Situated around the University of Chicago campus in south Chicago, booths are set up along the tree-lined streets of the neighborhood. It's one of the oldest art shows in the country, but most important to you and me is the high quality of the works, both artistically and technically.
Please stop by our booth (#714), where we will be featuring our latest work, as well as customer favorites, including stoneware Bread Crucibles, Shell Bowls, and Favorite Bowls. Prices range from $35 for Comfort Cups to $400 for our newest stoneware, 16" diameter Wall Platters (right).
Art Fair location: The 57th Street Art Fair takes place on 57th Street between Kenwood and Woodlawn Avenues (vicinity of William H, Ray Elementary School at 5631 S. Kimbark, Chicago IL 60637)
This is approximately six miles south of the Chicago Loop off Lake Shore Drive in the Hyde Park neighborhood.

Art for Your Daily Life: A new collection of pottery
This Collection -- "Art for Your Daily Life" -- features unique clay works created by Steve and me in the last three years.
We continue our work not only as potters, but as artists and have recently begun to include this work when we go to shows. Until recently, many of these pieces could only be seen and purchased in our little vest-pocket gallery at our home studio. This Collection will expose our artistic clay work to more of our customers, supporters, and collectors.
If you have any questions about the work, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Stoneware Pottery Designs 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.
Stoneware CRUCIBLES: for baking and more.
The stoneware Crucible is one of our earliest designs in clay and has become, over the years, a customer favorite.
Although we didn't design the Crucible to be a bread bowl, we learned from a customer that it might make a perfect bread-baking vessel.
Yes, you can bake a beautiful loaf of bread in our Crucible, and we include our favorite recipe in a booklet, Bread & Crucible, which is included in every purchase.

Stoneware RAMEKINS
The name comes from the French term ramequin, a cheese or meat-dish baked in a small mold.
Our RAMEKIN is a small stoneware bowl: simple, hardy, versatile, and... cute! Bake or microwave in it. Serve hot soup or chili. And, this bowl is perfect for a homemade ice cream sundae. Why not create a multi-colored table setting?
