Saturday, December 7 from 10 am to 6 pm

Sunday, December 8 from 11 am to 5 pm.

The Icehouse Pottery Studio will host its 6th Annual Holiday Show and Sale of functional and sculptural ceramics at their studio.  The show will showcase locally made pottery by 15 potters and ceramic artists, the sale will offer a chance to meet the makers.

This increasingly popular event draws hundreds of customers from northeast New Jersey and the nearby New York areas. Available for sale will be a fabulous selection of vases, wall pieces, pitchers, teapots, platters, casseroles, raku and pit-fired vessels in varying colors and styles, and one-of-a-kind sculptures and decorative objects of art.

The show is the perfect place to find a unique handmade holiday gift or a special item or present for any occasion. 

Directions:
The show is easily accessible from Route 287; take exit 53, turn right and travel 0.6 miles. From Route 23, take Newark Pompton Turnpike, turn right at the light and go 0.4 miles. Icehouse Studio is the red brick building on the right, just past the railroad track. 

Parking and admission:

Parking and Entrance in the rear. Parking and admission is free, but we will have a box available for any donation of nonperishable food items to Center for Food Action, a wonderful food pantry serving our neighbors in need.

Up coming Shows

The Potters' Guild of NJ, annual holiday show and sale in Mountainside, NJ will be coming on November 16 and 17, 2013.  My work will be there both days, but I'll attend on Sunday since  dear friend is getting married on the 16th.

Then that Icehouse Annual Show and Sale in Riverdale, NJ will be held on December 7 and 8, 2013.  I won't miss either day of that show.

I'm looking forward to finishing  milk and cookie sets for those special offerings from kids to their patron Saint, Nicholas.  And look for the 2013 ornament - They're looking fine! And I've made sure to have a few faces and sewing baskets as well.

I've seen what my Guild and Icehouse colleagues are producing - you'll be proud to share this work with family and friends for any holiday or celebration. It's always a plus to give locally hand made.  Know for sure that they won't get the same thing from their aunt in Minnesota, nor will they have to find a way to remove all that sticky stuff from the "made in..." sticker that festered on the long trip to the US or in a stock room somewhere.
