Show & Sale Goodies

I'll be filling my extruded vases with flowers

Potters Place Spring Show and Sale is Friday through Sunday, May 4 - 6 at 127B Old West Street in Walpole, MA.  With 23 members creating in clay, there will be so many wonderful pieces to looks at, purchase, and study for future inspiration.  The show and sale is a means for the members to exhibit and sell their work, as well as, raise money to offset the costs of running a not for profit pottery school.

The show theme is Flora and Fauna. Here's what you'll see from me when you arrive at the studio.

Here is a "Festive Feast" recipe that I would choose my own platter to serve it on. The shape and size cwill work together perfectly.

Cream Cheese and Pepper Jelly Spread 

- perfect for Potters Place Artists Reception

1 8oz package of cream cheese 

1 Jar of pepper jelly

Crackers

1. Unwrap cream cheese and place in the center of your platter.

2. Open the jar of pepper jelly and spread over the cream cheese. (You may use only half the jar.)

3. Encircle with crackers and spread a few to complete your display.

4. Have extra ingredients on hand as this is very addictive!
