Another Holiday Sale under my belt

The Ottawa Guild of Potters (www.ottawaguildofpotters.ca) had their holiday sale last weekend.  It's my honour to be part of group with many talented artists.  This year, the sale was at the newly renovated Horticulture Building (Lansdowne Park - downtown Ottawa).  The space is lovely and all of us started the setup at around 8am on Friday and the door was open at 4pm (after our Mayor, Jim Watson had cut the ribbon - yes it was also the grand opening day for the Horticulture Building).  

We had many customers came by for the 3 days and many left with their bags for goodies.  And by the time we close on Sunday at 5pm, we had many happy artists as well.  All in all I think it was very successful.

Here are pictures of my booth (#42):


Now that another holiday sale under my belt, I have to start planning what to make for next year.  

I have plan for December already, I would like to make some more espresso cups, at least one soap dispenser, perhaps a teapot and maybe a casserole as well.  Hmmm, how many weekends do we have left for December?!  Maybe this is a bit much, but will see.

Pottery girl has been quite productive

Like I mentioned last time, since I didn’t have a show in December and didn’t spend much time outside this winter, I was able to spend more time in the studio. As a result, I actually have some finished pieces ready! I opened the kiln earlier this afternoon for my second glaze firing of the year (can you believe my 2nd glaze firing in April, this has never happened before)—here they are (sorry about the lighting…). The bottom shelf, the initial picture didn't work out and I had to take another one 2nd shelf with pieces that I did slip trail.  This is my first time doing this and I quite like the result. 3rd shelf  Top shelf  I’ve also been trying out a new look for my mug handles, but they didn’t make it into this firing. Hopefully it won’t be too long before the next update!

Last firing before the show

One last firing before the show, and I’m happy to say that every piece turned out beautifully.
