Wondering what will be here for the Nov. 22 Holiday Art Studio Tour?  Well, there will be guest artists with beautiful quilted pieces, wood cutting boards and rolling pins, and felted hats.  These are truly works of art; they are one-of-a-kind, handmade, and impressive! Come see for yourself and consider these fine items as gifts.

Yes, there will be WillowAK porcelain pieces, felted clogs and other knit items,  and maybe some paintings, too.  A quick walk around the studio today with my iPad resulted in the following photos:

Mugs waxed and ready to glaze

Porcelain pendants --probably will be used in neckaces

Pie plate -- or serving dish

Serving bowl with swirls

Serving bowl with stripes and dots

Knit head bands -- perfect for "bad hair" days

Felted bowls of Icelandic wool

Wrap those wine bottles -- for gift giving and for serving

Knit hat for the ladies -- light weight and stylish

Felted wool hat with rolled brim -- super warm!

Another sage colander for straining foods or holding fruit

Clogs are felted and ready in M, L, XL

Tree ornaments and swimming salmon ready to glaze

Yarn bowls and Halloween/Thanksgiving sugar keepers

Stockings are hung on the racks with the wares

Marys and Josephs yet to be glazed, but the cradles with Jesus are ready





Wine chillers to freeze -- then hold the bottles

A variety of forms awaiting their glazes

A wheel at rest, and lake view from studio

New spoon rest form with new glaze in foreground

Little bowls with crimson and green for Christmas

Pierced bowls --perfect for display of fruit

Casper and friends. Hang on a branch?  What do you suggest?
No, Halloween items won't be out for the Holiday Studio Tour.



That's a look at some new pieces in the studio today. Another glaze kiln will be fired in the coming week, and I'll post again after that one is unloaded.  For now, remember to mark your calendar for Nov. 22, and come to the studio to see lots of new work -- fiber art, wood art, porcelain art, and maybe a few paintings.  A fun shopping adventure in Willow ... a fine gift selection for all ages.
