December 4 through 13: Members Exhibit, Manistee Art Institute. Along with other members of the Manistee Art Institute, I will be displaying some of my best work.

The opening reception is December 4 from 6-8 pm. Come and mingle with the artists! Other exhibit hours are: December 5, 11, & 12 from 1-8 pm; December 6 & 13 from 1-6 pm.
Visit Artifact Pottery!
My home-based gallery is open by arrangement May through December, so please call (231-723-3495) or email me if you want to stop by. (The gallery is closed in the winter months.) You'll probably need driving directions since we are off the beaten path, and MapQuest, Google Maps and GPS systems always send people down the wrong roads. I always have more pottery on hand than what is shown on this website - if you are going to be near Manistee, Michigan, please make a point to see my work in person! If I'm not home when you call, please leave a message and I will get back with you, or click here to email me.
