Because fall is finally here, I’m planning to show regularly at local farmers’ markets in Tempe. Starting October 18 I’ll be at the Saturday Rays Market at McClintock & Warner in Tempe. The market goes from 8 am  – 12 pm and will change to 9 am -1 pm once the daytime highs start to be below 95°F. Check “UPCOMING EVENTS” in the right side of my website for confirmed dates and times. This is an awesome small market with super fresh produce and lots of other great local food & art vendors. Check out the Rays Market Facebook page.

The Tempe Community Market is on hiatus for a couple of weeks because of street-closing events in downtown Tempe. It starts back up at fall hours of 9 am – 1 pm on Sunday, November 2. I’m planning to be there on November 2 and 9.

I’m excited about the upcoming show with other members of the Southern Arizona Clay Artists at the Tucson Museum of Art Holiday Artisans Market on November 21, 22, and 23. It’s my first bigger juried artisan market and my first time showing at an out of town locale!

Stay tuned for more news!

On Saturday, March 22, the very first Southwest Maker Fest will be held in downtown Mesa. I consider myself a maker, and I’ll be exhibiting there. The festival will be along Main Street near McDonald from 10 am to 7 pm. I’m not sure where my exact spot will be, but it should be fun to walk around and see all the cool things people are doing while you are looking for me. The festival is being held in collaboration with Arizona SciTech Festival, a state-wide festival of all things technology, science and math. Also, on the same weekend, is the Spark! Festival of Creativity just down the street at the Mesa Arts Center. So there are lots of great reasons to come to downtown Mesa on the 22nd, and stop by and see me while you’re there!

I’ll be at Ray’s Farmer’s Market this Saturday (Dec 14) morning. Connie will be there too! If have a few new things fresh out of the kiln. Come on by!

In years past, I’ve donated my proceeds from the Pyle Arts & Crafts Boutique to my son’s robotics team. My son has graduated and is no longer on the team, but the team lives on. The FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) is a great experience for kids in high school, around the country and around the world. Each team has 6 weeks to design and build a robot to participate in a tournament to play a robots/students game that is new each year. The Arizona FRC happens in March and it’s a blast to watch. (March 20-22, 2014 at Hamilton High in Chandler)

The team has grown to incorporate 2 more Tempe High Schools this year, and I really hope they’ll be able to compete. So once again, I’m going to donate proceeds from my pottery sales the Pyle Arts & Crafts Boutique to Team 2449. Come on by and buy some pots for bots!
