I’m excited to share that I’ve finished and am all set up at Erin Hills Golf Course in the Merchandise Tent with my commissioned pottery for the 2025 80th U.S. Women’s Open Championship, taking place at the end of May right here in Wisconsin! You may remember that I also created custom logo pieces for the 2017 USGA Men’s Open Championship. Last fall, the USGA reached out again to see if I’d be interested in doing something special for the Women’s Open. I’ll admit—I hesitated at first! But in the end, I said yes… and I’m glad I did. And yes - glad to be done! These limited-edition pieces will be exclusively available at the event in the USGA Merchandise Tent. If you'd like to purchase one (or just take a look), there are four free admission days (May 24 - May 27) open to the public where you can shop for these and other official event items. (See info Below) 📽️ New Video Alert! I created a YouTube Video that shows the behind-the-scenes process of how these commissioned pieces came to life—take a peek! Special thanks to local musicians Amy McFarland and Maria Terres for the beautiful music accompanying the video. You can find their album along with the tunes I used on Laughing Matters on Bandcamp! Original Work Also Available
In addition to the commissioned pottery, I’ll also have some of my original pieces available on consignment at the Open, featuring my original designs: Bleeding Hearts, Blue Hydrangea and Blue Dragonfly. I will be there on Saturday, May 24 - then my wonderful, newly-retired husband Bob will be repping my wares the 25-27. Stop in and say hello to Bob during the free public days! The official Women's Open Championship days continue May 28 - June 1, and are ticketed entry only for the tournament and merchandise tent. More info about the U.S. Women's Open Championship can be found on their website. www.usga.org

The Brown Deer Community Foundation is excited to announce they are bringing back the medallion hunt for a second year, set to begin on Tuesday, May 20.
Last year, thousands of people were out looking for the medallion somewhere hidden in Brown Deer, which was found 15 days later just outside of the Brown Deer Pond in Village Park. This year, the medallion will again be hidden somewhere in Brown Deer and clues will be published every Tuesday and Friday in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and on the Village of Brown Deer website until the medallion is found. The clay medallion was crafted by local Brown Deer artist Jean Wells - Jean's Clay Studio. The medallion hunt is proudly sponsored by local restaurant Café Corazón - Café Corazon Brown Deer. The medallion this year will showcase a rooster in the Café Corazon colors of blue, red, and orange. Based on the high participation and energy last year, Café Corazon is increasing their sponsorship and the winnings for finding the medallion to $2,000. The winner will also receive a complimentary meal for four at the Cafe Corazon location in Brown Deer. The Foundation will work closely with Café Corazon to host a photo opportunity and ceremony recognizing the winner of the medallion hunt. |
