Last weekend we took a road trip to Elizabeth, Illinois. Paul Eshelman, a long time potter in that area, asked Jeff to participate in the Twenty Dirty Hands Tour. It was a self guided tour of pottery studios and kiln locations. We traveled there as a family and stayed at the home of Paul and Laurel Eshelman. It was very fun! They live in a small town of 600 people and their home and studio are just a block away from each other. We enjoyed exploring the town on foot, especially the Historic Fort and reinactment happening there, the local library, and the town park. We had yummy meals and warm cozy beds. Jeff and I got to explore Galena a bit and see the other potters studios on the tour for a few hours. The sun was shining all weekend even in the fall cold. It was an enjoyable trip together!
