    Downtown Farmington Becomes a Gallery!

    If you're in Farmington, Maine, this Wednesday evening, I hope you'll come enjoy the Downtown Farmington ArtWalk! It's fun, it's free, and auction proceeds benefit the Franklin County Animal Shelter.

    Seven local artists are being featured in seven downtown shops, and I'm delighted to have my ceramics at The Shoe Guy. I'll be sharing a selection of earthy pieces from my recent raku and wood firings, along with some favorites from over the years — pieces that celebrate the glaze patterns and textured surfaces I love exploring in clay.

    Please stop by to say hello, pick up a piece of pottery, and enjoy the evening with us. I'd love to see you!

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