Jill Tortorella – Antioch Pottery

Make your plans today! My annual holiday open house is just around the corner. I’m making everything for the home and kitchen and a couple of new birdbaths for outside living! Bowls and jars on sweet little feet, jumbo platters with twisty handles, squiggly serving bakers, berry bowls, mugs, teapots and things you don’t even have yet! As a VIP you’ll get to pick a discount from the bowl and apply it to your purchases this weekend only! At 10am sharp we will unload the hot freshies from the kiln outside. Gloves are provided, if you want to help. Coffee and refreshments abound, do not let funky weather stop you! Plenty of parking, plenty of fun! Its from 10 to 4 Saturday and Sunday, November 17 & 18. Please plan to come, I will lay out the red carpet for you! I better get out there and throw!

The Penrod show this weekend in Indianapolis has CANCELED the Friday night portion of the show. I was half way there from northern Illinois when this was announced. Saturday shows 100% chance of rain so we turned around. I WILL be back in CARMEL on September 22 & 23 in space #8. I apologize to anyone who was coming out for the show, I NEVER cancel a show! And I don’t mind rain but lightening in an open field is a no-go.
