Where To Find Us
Still making pots like a crazy potter, but at least I've gotten the first firing of the year out. Now if I can just catch up with my wholesale orders...
- Our Viterbo University show is still up through March 27. We had a great turn-out for the opening, including seven college friends, one high school classmate, and three of my college professors. (One of whom had a clip-on Koala on his collar.) The Viterbo University Gallery is located on the third floor of the Fine Arts Center, 929 Jackson Street, La Crosse, Wisconsin. Gallery hours are Monday-Friday, 9 am-4 pm.
- I'll have a small Visiting Artist exhibit of my work, going all the way back to graduate school days, at the Adele McMillan Gallery in the University of Oregon's Erb Memorial Union. The show goes in March 22, and will be up through the end of Spring Term. I'll be giving a artist's talk as well, Friday, May 10 at 6 pm in the Craft Center.
- Along with the EMU exhibit, I'll be giving two three-hour workshops at the UO Craft Center. On Friday, April 19 I'll offer my famous Brushmaking and Ceramic Painting (aka "Making Art with Roadkill) Workshop, and on Friday, May 10, I'll be demo-ing the Potter's Tool Kit, a free-wheeling collections of techniques, tips and tricks I've accumulated over 30 years as a production potter. Both workshops run from 2-5 pm, and spaces are limited. Registration opens March 11 for UO students, March 25 for non-students, at the Craft Center website.
- And of course, Saturday, April 6 marks the opening of the Eugene Saturday Market. They've revised the map a little, courtesy of the city of Eugene's Park Blocks remodel, but we're still in our favorite spot, space 349, across Park Street from the Info Booth. Saturday Market is open, rain or shine, from 10 am-4 pm on the Park Blocks, 8th and Oak Streets, in Eugene.
- If you can't wait until April, you can always contact us online
any time to discuss your Whimsical and Functional pottery needs. Remember to check my In Stock page for the latest inventory.
Galleries and gift stores:
- As of this writing, I have only Club Mud Kiln Project mugs in the Maude Kerns Art Center's gift shop; we're working to replace our aging electric kilns. Maude Kerns is located at 1910 E. 15th Avenue, Eugene. Gallery hours are Monday-Friday, 10 am-5:30 pm; Saturday, noon-4 pm.
- Childhood's End Gallery has placed an enormous order for Spring, to restock both their website and gallery. I'm hoping to have it delivered in mid-April. They're at 222 4th Avenue West, Olympia, Washington; (360) 943-3724, and their showroom is open Monday through Saturday, 11 am - 6 pm, Sunday, 11 am - 5 pm; they also have a good selection of their pottery, glass, jewelry, paintings and sculpture available through their online collection.
- I'm slowly weaning away from Valley Art Gallery. They're a long ways away to restock, and I don't have the work to spare. Whatever's left is at 2022 Main Street in Forest Grove, Oregon; (503) 357-3703.
- Tsunami Books, 2585 Willamette in Eugene, on the other hand, continues to sell well for me. I just dropped off some more tall mugs, a couple of pie plates, and a pair of small baking dishes, to bring their stock up again.
- Great Harvest Bakery still has their custom Great Harvest mugs for sale. They're a special shape, deep and rounded, with a four-finger handle, the Great Harvest logo stamped on one side, and one of my bird or animal paintings on the other. Great Harvest has moved into their new location, across the street at 2605 Willamette in Eugene.
