Handmade Art You Can Use Everyday
Events for Joel Cherrico Pottery around the Midwest.
Stop by Up Cafe in NE Minneapolis on Friday, September 20th from 10am – 4pm and you’ll get a chance to watch me perform pottery throwing demonstrations. I’m also planning to bring down a few hundred pieces of my newest pottery. The cafe will be open as usual, serving all kinds of gourmet coffee drinks and bakery items, homemade gelato, and made-to-order panini sandwiches- all served on handmade Stoneware! 
Saturday, September 14th, from 4-9pm marks my first showing of pottery on the new, wooden deck that was recently built in downtown St. Joseph. It’s located between the Laundromat and the Minnesota Street Market Food and Art Co-op. I’ll be displaying a large selection of my newest pottery, and the Co-op is also hosting their Art Opening. We hope to make this a fun evening in St. Joseph. Also featured – Open House for Sue Alexander Method Massage, and Joseph’s Salon and Spa – Live music by Dave Cofell – Food, wine, coffee (thanks to the Local Blend coffee shop) and a giant Jenga! Check out the images below for the show postcard, as well as some images of the space where we’ll be hosting the show. See ya there!
This August marks my second showing of pottery at 1st Avenue Wine House in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Owners Traci and Ron are family friends that I’ve known since way back when- years ago, Traci used to be my babysitter!! Their family style business offers a unique chance for people to learn about gourmet wines in a friendly atmosphere. This 3 day show will take place the last weekend of August, just before labor day. I plan to bring my newest selection of pottery down from Minnesota to display in their courtyard. Come check out this unique shop while enjoying some wine tasting and viewing my newest pottery.
