Sharks!

Shark divers like Robots.

Thermoses!

Vintage coffee thermoses are a reoccurring item used in many of my found object sculptures. I found a box full at an antique show this morning, all in pretty decent shape!

The big white hands are old ceramic forms used for making rubber gloves. I bought them for a huge robot I have sketched out but haven't had time to build yet. 

L.A. bound

Robot 13 has found a new home.

Thank You!

Three Rivers is over and it went pretty well. Thanks to all who just discovered my work there and to past customers who stopped by just to say hello. My next show is A Fair in the Park and it's also in Pittsburgh. This event will run from September 9th - 11th and it will be the last chance to catch me in public for 2011.

Arts Festival Day 1

Conviction, talent in festival's juried exhibit
By Kurt Shaw, PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW

"... for those who are in the know, a few names and their pieces will not go unnoticed. For example, Toby Fraley's "Robot #50" is much like similar robot-inspired pieces he has shown in this exhibit in previous years. Fraley is also a perennial favorite in the festival's Artist's Market, with this year being no exception."

11PM - 2AM Festival Setup

Friends at the arts festival.

If you're stopping by to see me at the Three Rivers Arts Festival (June 8th-12th, booth 86) you should also swing by these booths. Off the top of my head I know these friends will be there. We have work by all of them in our home and it's all great stuff.

Robot #50

June 8th - 12th, Booth 86

If you saw me last year at the Three Rivers Arts Festival then you'll know where to find me this year. I'm in almost the exact same spot near the fountain in Gateway Center. I have a few new ceramic clock designs and found object clocks added to the lineup this year as well as new micro bud vases.

I just realized I've been doing this show for 10 years now! Stop by and say hello.
