Veeery quick catch-up re Potfest et al... I saw a lot of this the night before the set-up!
At least it was bonnie
Then as usual it took hours just to arrange my tables and random clothage!
God... HOURS in!
Hours later...
Two tables, THREE??? Oh, not enough clothage even with mad folds and disguises... two then. Humph.
Finally...
My sis doesn't like the red, fancy cloths... I think it would be fine with no black... work in progress. The shelves were dragged out at the last minute... will paint next time. I'm a professional, me!
Right, well after all that it could have been a whole lot busier, but what with Potfest Scotland moving dates and venue and TOWN, I'm sure it's just a transitional phase..... mmhmmm.
(The new agricultural mart is a much nicer venue than the old Perth one, though... an open end with views over the nearby Trossachs and an actual cafe with more than one loo. Same old cow pee aroma but really, we'd miss it if it wasn't there. (in the mart, not the loos... stalls are too small for bovine rumpage)
So, while the regular 'punters' let me down in my bid to pay the rent for the 6th time this year, trade came up mini-trumps and saved the day.
New badges, Wall Pockets and other fresh and lovely new things have/will be winging their way to Culross Pottery/Gallery in Culross, Ealain Gallery in Drymen, Starfish Studio in Johnshaven and the very lovely and constantly-selling-my-work craft shop, The Wee Boorachie in Milton of Crathes. Grand. I shall sit back and await the cheques and the glory!
Actually, I shall be up all hours, firing kilns, glazing, making, mucking about writing fascinating blogs etc and generally trying to play catch-up.
Sleep? For whimps.
