Jean Marc Richel is still enhancing by hand some of the photos taken during a trip to Paris and Florence this early spring.
He has also been painting with dyes and Shellac ink the trompet vine in the garden on photo paper.
Jean Marc has also opened a new studio space to start painting with oil.
He has installed some of these new works at Brewery Pottery in Mineral Point, Convivo in Spring Green, and the Bindley Collection in Middleton.
Jean Marc Richel is Number 22 on the 2010 Fall Art Tour.
This Baraboo quartzite boulder was just too interesting not to work into a piece of furniture.
The glass topped coffee table was the result.
Alan Anderson is Number 6 on the 2010 Fall Art Tour.
Our 6 acre prairie restoration is looking fabulous this summer.
We’ll be looking forward to giving prairie tours along with the studio tour in October.

Many thanks to all of you who came out to support the arts, watch and share in the creative process, and enjoy the autumn leaves during the Fall Art Tour. We are grateful that so many of you are excited about having quality, handmade art as a part of your everyday lives. Thank you.

Huge kudos to the organizers and volunteers, especially our own Diana Johnston, who did a fabulous job, again, to make the Fall Art Tour a wonderful success and by far the biggest weekend of the year for our area.
Thanks,
Frank at Mulberry Pottery
Most waking hours are spent in the studio right now. We have a few more pots to make but mostly glazing and firing to do at this point. We always look forward to welcoming visitors at Brewery Pottery during the Fall Art Tour. It’s a weekend filled with lively exchanges, ongoing demonstrations and great energy.
We are so happy to be a part of the Fall Art Tour. We hope to see you soon…
Diana & Tom Johnston
We are almost ready for our last Windy Ridge wood-firing before the Tour! We will begin loading the kiln on Tuesday, and anticipate firing for about 50 hours beginning before dawn on Friday. We have plenty of dry wood and plenty of good friends coming to help us stoke, and we are looking forward to a load of lovely pots to share with all of you in about three weeks! To see pics from our loading and firing, stop by our blog (colepottery.blogspot.com) later this week.
