Upcoming Independent Event
Dunbar Pottery Spring Sale
Featuring John Reeve's Last Works.
Friday, May 3rd & Saturday, May 4th
10 am to 4 pm

From 2006 to 2010 John Reeve worked intermittently at Dunbar Pottery.  After a health scare in 2010, John returned to New Mexico where he passed in 2012.  John is survived by his children Solly and Hannah and his widow Phylis Blair.  After a recent trip by Chris Brayshaw to New Mexico, he reported that Phylis is in poor health both physically and economically.  When John left the Dunbar Pottery, he left behind a studio filled with pots.  These were stored away awaiting instructions from Phylis which were never forthcoming.  She was and remains devastated by John's death.   In order to raise funds to assist Phylis, we have glazed and fired the bisque pots John left behind.  Chris Brayshaw, who is researching a book on John reports that these pots were no doubt the last ones he made.  We aim to sell John's last work and to send all of the proceeds to Phylis.  In that regard Yukiko Onley has very generously offered her VisualSpace gallery at 3352 Dunbar Street for the sale.  Ron and I will also have some pots for sale,a portion of the proceeds will go to assist Yukiko with expenses.
