“Pinch me I’m dreaming,” a small solo show opens next month at Jackson Junge Gallery in Wicker Park.
Opening reception is February 15 from (5-8pm) and corresponds with the gallery’s Valentines market (1-8pm) so it should be a good time.
Lots of new ideas and some pots too. Hope to see you there!

Teaching four wheel classes this month. Lots of throwing exercises (see some student cylinders below) and helping the class get comfortable with failure/practice/process.
Really enjoying the simplicity of these demo forms. Espresso cups, handles, butter crocks & creamers from the hump!
