This year will mark the 20th Annual Memorial and Labor Day Weekend Sales.  Over these near two decades I have been blessed to welcome visitors into my home to view the work I am privileged to continue to produce.  My continuing joy comes from welcoming new customers, visiting with those returning, and knowing that the pieces they choose to purchase will continue to find a place in their homes and cabins for years to come.

Not going south this past winter, afforded me the opportunity to once again experience the beauty, nature offers us here in the Nisswa area, and view anew the subtleties of the warm hues within the sleeping flora and the cool of the shadows they present upon the snow.  These observations have lead to renewed use of texture, and an expanded palette of warm hues in my functional work.  As we now move into spring and warmer temperatures while firing, I have again, added the warm range of yellows, oranges and deep browns offered by the additional of ferric chloride to the surface of my horsehair raku, as well.
