Listen up, pottery lovers — and anyone else planning to hit the 35th Annual Holy Hill Arts & Crafts Fair (yeah, you and 10,000 of your closest, sweatiest, pushiest friends… ick!). Ahem. The Fair will be fabulous, of course — but when you’re ready for some crowd control, head to the Lee Curtes Pottery show on Saturday, September 19th, 2009! Heck, it’s right around the corner from the Basilica of Holy Hill, so you may as well check it out. He won’t even charge you admission (I know this because he’s my dad and I can vouch for his Good Guy-ness). And my mom (who’s a known Food Pusher), will no doubt encourage you to eat something delicious.
Buy some gorgeous handcrafted bowls from the man my girls call “Pata,” knowing that you’re not just covering the cost of clay… you’re supporting a great cause. See, Pata is donating a portion of his proceeds on Saturday to Project ADAM (Automated Defibrillators in Adam’s Memory). For those who don’t know, my dad is alive today because an AED was on hand to save him nearly ten years ago. So it’s a cause very close to our hearts, so to speak.
Seriously, my dad’s been working like a fiend on new glazes, firing techniques and has been throwing pots for months in preparation. He’s hoping to see lots of friends and family on Saturday, as well as some new faces. Go to Lee Curtes Pottery for all the details.
How cute are they?

Alice, you would love the pottery! Too bad you can’t hop the pond and come.
They live in a gorgeous area… we planted 2,000 trees there when I was 13 (not my idea of fun at that age), and now it’s all huge pine trees. Lovely to walk in – the grandkids love it! Plus my dad has planted a HUGE vegetable garden this year, and the pumpkins and squash are nearly ready, I hear.

Aww, I just love them! They’re so cute!
I wish I COULD go to this. I have a soft spot in my heart for pottery. I love big bowls that I can put in my kitchen and cool vases. His work is gorgeous! Good luck!
