This was the 12th Annual Camano Island Studio Tour where you can visit some of the best artists in the Pacific Northwest. Over 60 artists participated this year. We had a good turnout with many of our regular customers visiting. More information with artists' work available by visiting www.camanoarts.org

Art is truly alive on Camano!

This all clay show is presented by Cascade Clay Artists and features a wide range of very beautiful work from clay artists located in the Northwest portion of Washington.

The show will be held at the Gallery at the Depot, located at 611 "R" Avenue in Anacortes. Hours are Tue to Fri, 1-4, Sat, 10-4.

The artists have donated ceramic pieces for a silent auction to be held throughout the show. The theme for the auction is "Heads or Tails", so expect to see some fun pieces. All proceeds benefit the Skagit Valley College Art Scholarship.

I will have several pieces in the show and two in the auction.

Produced by Stanwood-Camano Arts Guild, this show freatures many local artists in every media.

Hours are 10 am to 5 pm both Saturaday and Sunday. Show is at the Norgaard Cultural Center in West Stanwood.

I will have three vases on display.

A very fun family event featuring great art, food, and toe-tapping music.

Lots of ceramic art in a most beautiful setting inside and outside of "The Cabin" gallery of Crow Vallery Pottery. The location is on the highway south of Eastsound on picturesque Orcas Island. I'll have several pieces there as I did last year.

Best selection is on opening day, July16, when there is music, food, and beverage. Take a great ride on the ferry and stay over at one of the comfortable lodgings on the island. Visit www.crowvalleypottery.com

I will have pieces up there most of the summer.
