This weekend is the Oregon Potter Association's Ceramic Showcase. It's at the Memorial Coliseum. The hours are Friday May 1st and Saturday May 2nd from 10-7 and Sunday May 3rd from 10-5.

I just joined the association last fall and this will be the first time I have any work at the show. I have three pieces that will be for sale in the gallery. I was at the showcase today and had time to walk around as other potters were setting up their booths. There is some amazing pottery there, so please come by and check it out.

Below are the three pieces I made for the showcase.

Here's a piece using a poem I wrote for Beth.  This is the piece that is already in the gallery.  If it sells, then another one of my pieces will replace it. — Here's a piece using a poem I wrote for Beth.

This is the second piece that will be in the gallery.  It is a series of boxes with different haiku from Kobayashi Issa. — This is the second piece that will be in the gallery. It is a series of boxes with different haiku from Kobayashi Issa.
