WillowAK Pottery

Yes, the fiber and wood arts are displayed and ready for Saturday's tour.  If you missed seeing something in an earlier posting, this gives you another chance to preview the beautiful pieces made by Melinda, Bill, and Joan. I may not have the captions just right, but a picture is worth 1,000 words...right? Beautiful boards Colorful table runners Totes, baskets, bags Rolling pins, earring rack, cutting board Wall hangings More totes  and table runners Quilted placemats and woven mats A collage of color!

Joan has displayed a wonderful selection of bags, totes, baskets, runners, etc. to join with the beautiful pieces of Melinda's that I posted earlier. Here are some of Joan's treasures...and in a day or two I'll post a few pictures of the studio room with the fiber and wood arts displayed.  Colorful, artful, high-quality work for sure, at reasonable prices! The lady doing pottery is ten paces behind in getting ready, but she'll get there. One kiln is cooling tonight, and another glaze firing should be ready to unload on Thursday.  Meanwhile there is the usual prep of clearing, cleaning, tagging, and displaying to be done, with a little cookie baking on the side...maybe.  More photos of the porcelain work is yet to come, too, so you know what to expect on Saturday. Oh, the signs are out and about, thanks to Bill.  We look forward to meeting and greeting on Saturday and hope you'll find pieces to add to your collections as well as one-of-a-kind gifts in...

Yes, the Studio Tour is coming up on Saturday of Memorial Day weekend , and it's time to give you an idea of some of the new work you'll find at the WillowAK Studio on Shirley Lake. The Dahlia Sale will be outdoors under a tent, with proceeds dedicated to Willow's Grow Your Library Fund.   Bill and Kathy Mailer have generously donated all the plants and will be running the sale. Talk about community members who just keep giving -- they certainly do that!   Over, and over, and over again. Can't tell you how many dahlia plants there will be, but even though there are LOTS, please don't wait until the end of they day if you are hopeful of purchasing beautiful, red dahlias!  There is no guarantee that they will still be available late afternoon. Red dahlias -- a Library fundraiser project, thanks to the Mailers! Multiple woods and attractive designs in Bill's cutting boards! Bill Dale does beautiful cutting boards.  If you've been here...
