Lily Bay Lakeshore Artisans will host an open house from June 13 to 15 from 10 am to 5 pm. The open house includes work from: a mother-daughter team, two professionals, a recycler and a photographer with a charitable beginning for Habitat for Humanity.

Lily Bay Pottery is a working studio and gallery where Linda Sheard is the potter in residence. Come and see wood ash glazes being made on sight and a gas reduction kiln burning bright.

Jim Hoyer is Lily Bay Originals. He creates useful and artistic products by recycling and repurposing materials such as cedar twigs and old furniture pieces.

Nancy Prange has a passion for Door County scenes and a social conscience. After retiring she got involved with the woman’s arm of builders for Habitat for Humanity. She creates photo notecards, and donates the profits to Habitat. She will have many Door County landscapes and lighthouses for viewing in large and small sizes.
