Well, I made it! The spring Contemporary Clay Fair is a wrap! It is always a lot of fun but a bit crazy/stressful at the same time. Although I am only the treasurer, everyone thinks that I am in charge for some reason, I guess because I have been doing it the longest and seem to know what is what... !??
Anyway, we had 900 people show up which is A LOT in the course of two days, it is not that big of a building... just a small-ish meeting room with an a-joining kitchen. Needless to say the line to check-out was very long Saturday morning, a good 10-15 people waiting to give us money. We sold hundreds of pots for thousands of dollars, extremely successful... ! The 30 or so potters who do the show 2x/year are marvelous people and really step-up to do their jobs and make it work. Here are some of us at Harry's Roadhouse on Saturday night drinking cocktails and recovering from our cashiering shifts...
Sunday morning handsome husband guitarist David Yard came to play a set for us, it was a bit slow on Sunday as it was snowing (May 1st!) and therefor wonderful to have some classical guitar music in the background. I actually enjoyed a slower day, I could talk to customers, visit with other potters, nibble on free food all day long... saturday during the show none of this is possible, I am just selling pots as fast as I can and putting out whatever fires have broke out in general show-wise. a few shots from Sunday when we could actually get some pictures taken..
With 7 new potters in the show I thought it looked really good and was glad to have some new work for our many, many, returning customers to buy.. Looking forward to the November/holiday show already, but first the ELDORADO STUDIO TOUR next weekend, yikes!!!
