This piece will be part of the upcoming Oak Park Art League’s Fall Artist Member Exhibition. Since I had to think of a name for it à la minute, it’s called ‘A Yard in Oak Park’. This piece is high-fired stoneware glazed in clay, plant/wood ash, and stones from my yard. It will be for sale after the show.

The bi-annual member exhibition is celebrating 105 years of community art. OPAL is located at 720 Chicago Avenue, Oak Park, Illinois. The exhibit is free, and runs September 11 through October 4.

Next spring, after the new growth starts popping through the soil, the dried remains will be cut and burnt. The ash will be next year’s pottery glaze!
