Here are sons of my favorite pieces from the latest kiln unloading. I’ve been having fun pairing together an array of glazes from glossy to matte to textured and putting additives in glazes to use the vessels surface as more of a palette. I love the contemporary feel of these “splotches” juxtaposed with the raw look of this creamy stoneware flecked with manganese from @mnclayco.

Catch me in Minnesota this summer at:
@edinaartfair June 2-4
@stonearch_fest June 17-18
@uptownartfair august 4-6

…and Nebraskans, there might be a pop up somewhere in the mix at some point, so keep your eyes peeled! 🍌

Art of the Car began as a nod to Father’s Day and has grown into a favorite Stone Arch Bridge Festival tradition. This is an open call show where collectors show off their vintage and “artfully restored” cars. The show runs Saturday and Sunday from 11 am - 3 pm with different cars displayed each day.

Please welcome “Rainier Harlequin” to the mix, featuring a lil Mount Rainier sculpture with a Harlequin duck flying in the foreground… Jordan has informed me that as far as duck hunting/appreciation goes, the Harlequin is a very sought after birdy… and post-studying & sculpting him I can see why!

Collecting textile donations (next slide for specifics) until June 1st and then the fun part:

We’ll be weaving a 100 foot long rendering of the Mississippi River into the fence at the base of the gold medal flour grain elevators. Weaving is an all ages and ability activity - no prior experience required. Spend some time crafting with community on the banks of the river.

What a magical June.
I’ll post a little sign up in my stories for volunteers interested in helping with pre-fabrication later today.

So satisfying! Every year we’ve gotten better at organizing and prepping product for the show season. This year —> prepped totes! These totes are now ready to be pulled as needed and prepped for each show. This will hopefully make show season less stressful!

Also, don’t forget:

Much love,
The Wolf Family
