I went to the BCTF in harrogate (a trade show where you set up stall and try to chat up gallery owners and shops). I stayed with some old family friends, Alison and John, which was really lovely. BCTF was a bit odd. Being trapped in a shed trying to sell work to galleries because I dont want to have to always sell my own work was a little ironic. The weather was lovely but sadly I missed it. The show was pretty good though. I was pleased with the response to my pots, got plenty of orders and some exhibitions which I am really looking forward to.
This is the picture I took just after set up.
This is the picture I took just after set up.We went to Rufford just before Harrogate to check out the Northern Potters selected exhibition where I also have a few pots on show. Thalli took the chance to make a new friend. We called him little Jonny apple seed. He reminds me of my little brother - but not in dimensions.
We decided to save cash this week and the easiest way, it seems, is to sell your children off to service to the local gentry. So we have sent Talli to a large stately home in the Dales to work as a chamber maid. If nothing else it will save us a fortune in cake and free up the internet for ourselves.Some may notice the similarity between her Jesus costume and Victorian maid outfit, facilitated by the cunning use of lace. This also made a medieval princess and Mary in the nativity play. A very useful garment all round.
For the rest of the week I have been babysitting my grandson - int he sweet- while his mum does her driving lessons. Finally she passed!!!! congratulations Vic, but Ill miss the babysitting.
Today I picked up these two beauties in a hospice shop in Draycott. They are beautiful. Im so pleased with them I tried to find out where they come from with no luck - no marks- so if any one has any idea please let me know. MUST start making again tommorrow.
