Pottery by Linda Vallie
JAHC is hosting a fresh air market, and the good news is that it will be held indoors this year. Bird Nest Pottery will be one of the many vendors. The market is tomorrow, Saturday April 18th from 10:00 until 2:00. I probably won’t be selling my pottery after that until late summer so shake a leg and come see what I’ve got.
There you will find bird feeders, butter dishes, pinch bowls, and soap dishes. It’s a great store if you are looking for gifts.
Put your warm jacket on and come to the Juneau Travel Fair this Saturday at the JACC. Indoors will be businesses from the tourism industry (read more below about this), but outside will be booths for the first annual Fresh Air Market! Look for Bird Nest Pottery (me) in the courtyard between the JACC and Centennial Hall. The market runs from 11:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. Here are some of the creations I will be selling, and don’t forget that Mother’s Day is just around the corner:

See you Saturday!
Bird Nest Pottery will be at one last market before Christmas: I will be at the Mendenhall Mall (along with many other vendors) on Saturday, December 21 from 10:00 a.m. until 5:30, and on Sunday the 22nd from noon until 5:00. I’m about to open the final kiln load of creations! I will have mugs, bowls, salad oil bottles, butter dishes, and MUCH more. New at this sale I will have rockfish soap dishes and bird house ornaments as well as some non-pottery ornaments for the bicycle rider on your gift list. Come early for the best selection! See you this weekend. Oh and Santa will be at the mall from 1:00 – 4:00 both days.
Here are some of the items I will have on hand:
I’ll be in and out of town a lot starting in May, so this Saturday’s sale at the JACC will be a rare chance to see all I’ve got. And I have a lot! In addition to some of my standards (butter dishes, oil bottles, mugs, sponge holders, and mugs) I have some new items.
The sale is the Travel Juneau Fair. There will be vendors inside and outside. It is from 10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.

I just delivered a kiln-load of new pottery to the organic grocery store: Juneau Natural, which is located on Old Dairy Road. Here are a few of the items:
John and Sierra at Juneau Natural are carrying my pottery at their organic grocery store on Old Dairy Road. I just delivered a large load of ceramic items to them mid-May, so you can see all of my stock there or at the JACC lobby. Here are a few things that just came out of the kiln:
New items I have include some planters, so check that out.
Happy Springtime!
