Craft show
Awesome week!
It has been a great week here at The Broken Plate! I completed 4 fabulous custom wedding orders and received my advance copy of this summer’s ReadyMade Magazine, featuring my coasters! To top it all off, I am proud to announce that my work is now available, in my favorite shop, Red Tree in Hamden! Now off to [...]
ArtStar Philly!
Well, last weekend’s show was, well, interesting. 45mph winds blew and broke my tent and cash box, sending cash flying through the square in Fell’s Point. I unfortunately, had to call it a day early. The good news is that I now have a spiffy new tent and cash box and lots of great stock for ArtStar [...]

The American Craft Council and me.
Five years ago I went on a college field trip to the American Craft Council show at the Baltimore Convention Center. I remember having two distinct thoughts, “Holy cow, this is the most amazing show that I have ever seen!” and “Wow, I would never want to do a craft show.” We all know that [...]
New work!
Can you tell I am having fun with my circles? I am. Everyday J comes home and I bombard him with all of the new ways that I want to assemble them. He kind of looks at me like I am nuts, but I might just be. My new favorites are this necklace and this bracelet. [...]
Year in Preview – 2010

Trying to avoid holiday stress and other things.
Can you believe how quickly holiday stress creeps up on you? I saw Christmas decorations in Target before Halloween even came. Not cool, guys. Not cool. I am kind of excited about this holiday season because, instead of killing myself and doing 10 shows, (that may or may not be lucrative) I decided to focus on [...]
