Handmade on Charles Street Update…

May 11th and May 12th / 7746 Charles Street / Omaha
Handmade on Charles Street

Nine artists will be participating in our home show! Once a month until the event, we will provide photos on this blog to let you know what you can expect to find at this one-of-a-kind show. Garden Markers will be displayed in 4 glaze colors and 12 herb selections. In addition, we have a “green thumb” growing small herb pots to go along with some of the markers.

Email us for more information at creativeclaycafe@gmail.com

In line with our long-standing philosophy of offering quality handmade art and fine craft items, we will be reasonably priced so that everyone can purchase something for their handmade collection. The timing of this show is perfect for Mother’s Day, graduations and upcoming weddings. We will even feature jewelry created by a professional designer that also plans weddings and related events.

More to come!!

Handmade on Charles Street / May Show

Here is a preview of only one of the many items that we will have to offer for our upcoming May Home Show! We are finding a great way to use our collection of vintage glass and china. Some pieces will involve our handmade clay dishes while others look great with just the vintage pieces!

We have 7 artists participating and their talents include jewelry-making, floral designing, sewing, pottery and garden artistry… we will even be sampling dip and coffee drink mixes!

Mark your calendars: May 11th and May 12th (just in time for Mother’s Day)

Clay Bead Bracelet on Knotted Hemp

Red is difficult to fire on ceramics. We captured the raised rope pattern on this handmade clay bead and the red turned out very vibrant!

See it for sale at our Etsy store.

Clay with Vintage Glass

This is indeed, one of a kind! One of our handmade clay dishes with a delicate lace imprint — glazed and adhered onto a vintage candle holder piece. This one is featured for sale on our Etsy store.

Bentley

This is our 7-month-old yellow lab, Bentley. Don’t let the calm appearance fool you.

Small Clay Dish with Glass Fused to Bottom

We are going to try this with some of our clay dishes! I love the idea of melting glass at the bottom of the clay dish. More fusing in our future… I feel it!

New Addiction

During the winter months (particularly after the busy holidays…) art-minded people seek inspiration. I have found a new source for inspiration! Visit www.pinterest.com

I have signed up to be accepted (and I am not 100% sure I know yet what that means), but for now, I am still able to browse different categories of the site and I cannot believe the variety of ideas from all sorts of people! From food to craft projects to decorating at home — just go there and click on the picture a couple of times — you will likely end up on someone’s blog explaining how it’s done. I have not yet been “accepted” but I’m having a blast looking at all the cool stuff.

Go! I promise you won’t be disappointed!!
