The Teco Art Pottery Collection™ has made an appearance on HGTV's Rate My Space. The episode (HRMR-207) will replay again on April 25th, 2009 4:30pm CST. A 1920s French-style cottage gets a makeover with Teco (and some other items). Get details here.

Our Teco Art Pottery Collection™ was selected by the set decorators of Celebrity Apprentice (Season 8) to be used in the living quarters for the show's contestants. You can see the 4 Buttress vase in Teco Green just above Tom Green's shoulder.
Also, Dennis Rodman has a Orb vase in Teco Green and a Kiss vase in White nearby him.
Finally, Joan Rivers is going crazy on Brande Roderick with a 4 Buttress vase in White behind her.
If you don't care much for celebrity antics, but would love to see Teco pottery in action...watch Celebrity Apprentice (Season 8) on NBC or view past episodes for free on Hulu.

The Chicago Tribune had a small write up about Prairie Arts and our mini screens in the November 25th, 2007 Sunday Paper. The feature was in the Home & Garden section and you can read the text here.
If you're looking for retailers carrying the mini screens, check out PrairieMod.com or WrightCatalog.com.
We've added many new select retailers to our Where to Buy page on the website! So many more, that we've actually had to redesign our web page to accommodate the growing list. You'll see the map of the US, which wasn't there before.

I walked into the Room & Board in Oak Brook, IL a couple weeks ago and was thrilled to see our Teco Art Pottery Collection™ on display. The folks at the store did a wonderful job placing the product in a great spot and coordinating it with the color palette of the gallery space. Stop by and see the collection if you're in the Chicago area (or any of the other cities Room & Board has a presence).
We're looking forward to taking or receiving photos of other retail spaces carrying the Teco Art Pottery Collection™, so we'll post those to the blog as we get them!

We are extremely excited about this coverage and many other features that will be popping in magazines between now and the holiday season. Keep checking back often to see what others are saying about the pottery!
PS - For those of you waiting to get your hands on the actual pottery...many stores will have inventory by the end of August 2007. Also, a handful of online retailers are taking pre-orders and will ship product at the end of August as well.
Please feel free to email us at info@prairie-arts.com with any specific questions!
The 5th Annual Restoration Gala to benefit Frank Lloyd Wright's Unity Temple was a success! The Wright designed building was all a glow with dramatic lighting and Japanese lanterns. Traditional Japanese drummers performed for the audience, who also enjoyed sake tastings and fine food from Oak Park area restaurants.
Prairie Arts was proud to donate two pieces from our product line to the silent auction fund raiser: A large Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio Playroom Art Screen and a framed Unity Temple Wasmuth fine art print. We we're glad to contribute to this worthy cause!
