First show ever

The first art fair ever held at a then-new community center, where my son was unfortunately stung by a nest of bees and we had to break away to take him to the hospital!

What are the best things about art fairs

The artists, of course!


Best show ever and why

Waterford Fair ... excellent crafts and venue, gorgeous weather, held in my former hometown where my kids were raised. A fantastic event for young and old, with exhibiting artist demonstrations of colonial crafts throughout 50% of their time there.


Worst show ever and why

The rainy, 45-degree-F outdoor fair when I was 7 months pregnant and demonstrating claywork. Lousy attendance, freezing cold!

What is one fun fact about yourself?

My love for clay led to the founding of a clay magazine and I've too busy to work with clay ever since!
