Art & Craft Fair Calendar / News & Current Events
Most of my pottery can be purchased directly from local Art & Craft Fairs and Galleries around Southeastern Wisconsin. Below are lists of current Fairs & Galleries where you can find my work. You can also shop online at Jean's Clay Studio on Etsy. Local Customers can use the Coupon Code: LOCALPICKUP when they check out on Etsy to eliminate shipping costs and come and pick up their items at my home studio in Brown Deer, WI.
Naperville Fine Art & Artisan Fair
The Naperville Woman's Club hosts their 60th Naperville Fine Art & Artisan Fair in a two-day community celebration featuring over 100 artists exhibiting, selling, and demonstrating their original works. It is held each year in the heart of downtown Naperville - one block from the bustling popular downtown shopping and restaurant district at Naper Settlement, a "living history" museum with historic Naperville buildings, paved pathways and convenient parking. (Naper Settlement allows service animals only.)
Admission and parking are free. 
Hydrangea Pottery for MOWA Gift ShopThis Spring 2019, I created a custom Hydrangea design to celebrate the newly finished landscaping on the grounds of the Museum of Wisconsin Art in West Bend, WI.
These pieces are only being sold directly in the gift shop while supplies last. Milwaukee & Madison & Chicago Skyline SeriesOver the past year and a half I created new designs that reflect the Downtown Milwaukee Skyline off of Lake Michigan and Downtown Madison off Lake Monona. These designs are being offered on plates and vases of various sizes. I just finished developing a Chicago Skyline design and will be featuring these items at all of my art fairs this summer. Some pieces are currently available in my online Etsy Shop.
Short little video of a larger vase I just finished carving with the Madison Skyline.
