a few things...
an open studio date has been set. mark your calendars for friday, october 17th. more details soon. it appears my studio neighbors want to welcome you as well so once everything is in order i will post info on this site and http://www.ginadesantisceramics.com/.

i still have a promotion until the end of august on etsy. its odd that no one ever takes advantage to these things. if you buy one item you get the 2nd for $5!!! shipping still applies and of course the second item must be of equal or lesser value. if you live in the cleveland area and want to pick up anything you see online at my studio or one of my shows drop me a line. i can waive the shipping costs for you!

lastly i have 2 shows to announce for the fall and winter. i will be at the tremont art festival (w/mike zellers, ruth sholtis-furyes, and ann mcneill) and in sept and brecksville heartfelt holiday (w/ruth and ann) in nov. again i will post more details asap.

have a great week!
