52 Weeks 52 Works

Proud to announce that my ceramic artwork was chosen for a second time in the calendar publication of 52 weeks 52 works. Never did I think my artwork would represent the month in a calendar during a pandemic.

Raku Planters

Succulent Pot for the "Midwest Cactus and Succulent Society Show and Sale"

 I am partnering with my father and other members of the "Midwest Cactus and Succulent Society" in building pots to display their plants in. This planter as well as a variety of others will be on display and available for purchase at The Cleveland Botanical Garden on Saturday March 24th 10-5pm & Sunday March 25th 12-5pm.  Best to come earlier rather than later as plants & pots usually sell out quickly, hope to see you there!

Happy Holidays!

Thank you for the amazing support this holiday season at the 30th annual ArtCraft Sale,
I am glad so many of you will be enjoying Claire Raack originals :)  

Thank you especially for the overwhelming support of my new line "Save the redwoods."

I sold out of every artwork to support the "Save the Redwoods League,"
except for one that now proudly is the first ornament on my tree! 

20% of the proceeds from the "Save the Redwood" artworks have been donated
& "Save the Redwoods League" thanks you for your contribution to this important cause.
If you would like to know more about the cause check it out at: www.savetheredwoods.org 

  Also shout out to Susan Shore
for sending me a photo using her coffee mug.
