There will be lots of pottery: garden art like dragon tails, flowers, mushrooms, tree bling, totems and more. Also ceramic jewellery (pendants, earrings, adorable cat and dog pins, poppies), plates, vases, BUTTONS (millions of buttons!!), wine pendants and more…

And felted goodies like tapestries (paintings out of wool), jewellery, glasses & cell cases, purses, coasters, scarves, shawls, and more!

It’s been sooooo long since I’ve seen people (other than just a few lovely, distant, visits). I can’t wait to welcome you into my studio! I promise I won’t get too close...

Here’s how it’ll work. If you want to come (and I hope you do!), you will have to go to the link below to book an appointment. Everyone gets a 20 minute appointment. (If you want to visit longer, feel free to book 2 appointments back to back). Only you will have the time slot you have booked, so there won’t be any crowds at all. I ask you to bring (and properly wear) a mask. If you don’t have one, I just bought a box of surgical masks and I’d ask you to use one of those. I’ll also ask you to sanitize your hands just outside the studio, or use a pair of single use gloves while in the studio (I’ll supply those too). It’ll just be me in the studio, and I can go do some weeding (never ending job!) while you’re looking around, if you like. When you’re done and if you want to purchase something, I will ring you up (cash, or touch less debit or credit), pack up your goodies, and put them in your trunk for you so you won’t have to touch them for a few days, if that makes you feel more comfortable..

I’m REALLY looking forward to see you soon!!

Christmas Sale/Soup Bowl at the Art Gallery of Burlington

  • Google Calendar ICS

As a member of the Burlington Potters' Guild, I will once again have a couple of tables of pottery for sale in the Lee Chin Gallery at the AGB for the annual Christmas Sale/Soup Bowl event. I will also be part of the Burlington Fibre Arts Guild tables with felted work for sale.

All Guilds at the AGB will have their art for sale at the event, so it's an excellent opportunity to get some Christmas shopping done! There will be pottery (of course!), fibre art, rug hooking, weaving, painting, photography, sculpture and wood carving. Lots to see!

When there, why not take part in the Soup Bowl event? $50 gets you your choice of hand made soup bowl, a choice of artisanal soups, salads, rolls, coffee and dessert. You get to keep the bowl! I am hoping to donate at least 30 bowls to the event this year. The proceeds from Soup Bowl go directly to funding the AGB facility. Tickets for Soup Bowl go on sale around October 1, please go to the www.artgalleryofburlington.com website or call 905.632.7796.

The Christmas Sale is free to the public and the parking will be free for the weekend.

Hours:
Thursday: 10am - 5pm
Friday 10am - 9pm;
Saturday & Sunday: 10am - 5pm
