I opened my home & studio to the public this past weekend for my very first "open house" and I was so pleased with the traffic and great conversations I had with all. Leading up to the weekend, I wondered how the turn-out would be being the only artists "on the map" in the Saukville area. I spent many evenings cleaning and vacuuming cobwebs from the basement ceiling, mopping, and setting up a "pop-up" shop in the corner.
The tour was organized by the Cedarburg Artists Guild's Covered Bridge Art Studio Tour - a great group of artists from Ozaukee and Washington Counties that have been supportive colleagues and friends for almost 8 years.
I welcomed about 30-40 visitors each day and enjoying talking about my pottery process and answering everyone's inquisitive questions! I demonstrated how I make marbled clay and threw some wine goblets and mugs on the wheel. Everyone seemed to be really intrigued with how I bubble-glaze my porcelain pieces, too. I hope to start posting some short videos about that this coming year!
Thank you to my dear friends, Cara, Jodi, and Nora for assisting me!
