    Downtown Farmington Becomes a Gallery

    Join ArtWalk Farmington for a creative evening celebrating local art. Seven local artists are being featured across seven downtown shops.

    I’m delighted to be setting up my display at The Shoe Guy. I’ll be sharing a selection of my latest handmade pottery, including earthy pieces straight from my recent raku and wood firings, alongside favorites that showcase my style over the years.

    Please come by to say hello, hold a piece of pottery, and enjoy the evening with us!

    When: Wednesday, November 11th 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM
    Where: The Shoe Guy, 165 Main Street, Downtown Farmington

    Warmly,
    Cherie
