2012 St. George Art Festival - 5/13/2012

This Festival is usually my first display of the year and is held downtown during the Easter weekend, Friday and Saturday. I was privileged again to be a part of this excellent gathering of artists, most from Utah. I make it a point to display my newest work for the year to gather hopeful validation. The Festival is excellent in the simplicity of its layout and the depth of activities provided for children of all ages. The weather was perfect though Thursday evening setup was windy and chilly. This year I received a 3rd place award and also was surprised to have a piece selected for purchase from the Art Museum.

I was pleased with the increase in pottey sales. This suggested a positive curve in the St. George economy. This year I have applied for fewer Festivals due to so many projects elsewhere. In July I will have a booth in Provo as part of America's Freedom Festival. August; (first weekend) I will attend an Art Festival in Couer d'Alene, Idaho...(second weekend-Saturday only) I will display and demonstrate throwing pottery during Alpine Days here in Alpine...(third weekend) I will participate in the Helper Utah Art Festival. Then a big break to prepare for the '3 Saturdays'. The first 3 Saturdays of December where I have Christmas Pottery sales here in our home showroom. As always our Gallery/Showroom is open whenever we are home. which is pretty much 24/7.

Bowls for Humanity - March 16th, 2012

This will be our 8th year at Bowls for Humanity, a great cause that we've been privileged to be a part of. Come join us for an excellent bowl of soup, roll and your own one-of-a-kind bowl.  There will be a wide variety of styles to choose from of the hundreds of bowls that are donated by myself and many other potters. Above is a sampling of my bowls contributed this year along with some of my students' bowls.

New WhiteStonePottery Website

As you can see, our website has had a refresh.  I look forward to having more frequent gallery updates to my portfolio, showcasing pieces that are also for sale and giving better insight to the pottery-making process.

This update will be a work in progress so any feedback or ideas of things that you would like to see is appreciated. Please post a comment, send an email or give me a call.
