I am looking forward to exhibiting this year at the Smithsonian Craft Show in April 2011. I will be pushing forward to finish and fire my new wood fired kiln and redesign my booth with the help of my brother, Neil Luketic who is finishing his graduate studies in architecture at Kent State University!
