Art Tour News: Saturday, May 26, in Willow . . .
Once again, on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend, it will be a GREAT day to be in Willow.
There's a 5K race/walk and a plant sale, both fundraisers for the New Library and Community Center Upgrade Project. (The Mat-Su Assembly approved a budget including $1.9 million for this project, so with the nearly $1.7 million award from Mat-Su Health Foundation, fundraising efforts continue.)
There's the Studio Art Tour on the 26th, as well. Three studios are participating: WillowAK Pottery, Willow Creek Studio, and Karen Mattson Studio. Bonnie's Borealis Glassworks is taking a break, but expecting to be back for the Holiday Tour in December. Watch for tour news from the other studios.
In addition to the pottery available at WillowAK Pottery, you will find a beautiful selection of knit, felted, and quilted fiber arts by Carol, Melinda and Joan, plus wood pieces created by Bill Dale and Norm Wakeman. Eventually, a variety of sample photos will be posted here, so do check back.
Here are some of the porcelain "pieces with personality" that came out of the kiln this morning:

| See the moose at the foot of the mug? A friend has already claimed this one. |

| Three shorelines -- one suggested in the glaze and two on the lake. | | |

Serving bowl in nutmeg and black.
The rustic look for Alaskans. |

Leave it on the table as a centerpiece. |

Yet another serving bowl with its shape altered for a modern look.
Wedding gifts needed? |

One with a silk-screened leaf, slip trailing and accent colors.
Dressy, with a touch of Mother Nature. |

Buttons, tea bag holder, Alaska ornament with dipper.
A small, handmade gift is appreciated. |
