Winnebagoland Art Fair

Hi everyone!  Don't forget to come visit me at the Winnebagoland Art Fair (I call it the South Park Art Fair).  It is on Sunday, June 12.  It runs from 10am - 4pm at South Park in Oshkosh.  My tent is in the Southwest corner of the park at the corner of South Park Ave. and Georgia St. by the gazebo.  Hopefully I will see you there!

Paine Art Sale

Thanks to everyone that came out to check out my first art fair!  Everything went well besides the rain half way through the day.  It cut my day short.  Which was a bummer.  Well here is a picture I took quickly because I was getting rained on.  

 

Saturday

Hi everyone!  Don't forget to come out and visit me at the Paine Art Center this Saturday in Oshkosh!  It starts at 9am.  Check out their website for more information The Paine Art Center.  See you Saturday!

Very Busy!

Sorry it has been over a week since I last posted.  My blog has taken a back seat to my sale.  I have been working on a lot of things.  I have been throwing, trimming, firing, glazing, pricing, and getting everything together for my sale.  This first sale is taking a lot out of me.  I did not realize how many little things you have to think about and be prepared for.  I think the next two will be a lot easier.  10 more days to go.  Well here are a few pictures of what I have been up to. 

I did a set up of my display so I could figure out what I need to get and to get an idea of how to set everything up.  On the sale day we have to be set up by 7:30am so it is going to be an early day and I am not a morning person.  So the more I have organized the easier it will be for me. 

Glaze Firing

Today I unloaded my kiln and reloaded it with glazed work.  It should be done firing tonight.  I will have one more glaze firing before my show on May 21st.

I have a lot of things to do to get ready for my upcoming show.  So I will be busy this next week.  My Mother is going to come over and we are going to do a mock set up of my booth.  So I will be prepared for my early morning set up.  My shelves are also empty so I will have to start throwing pots again.  I have been slacking in that department because of a small injury.  So it is not by choice.  But it is putting me behind schedule because I have another show in June.   Empty shelves.....

Time to get busy.

Glaze Firing

Last week I waxed the bottoms of all my pottery and glazed everything.  I also did a glaze firing. 

Had some really nice things come out.  Check it out!

Snow!

This is what outside looked like Wednesday morning.  We had about 9 inches of snow.  This was the second-snowiest season ever in Appleton with 83.7 inches.  What a great record to set.  Ha!  I just hope it is done now.

I did get some things done in the studio this week.  I unloaded the bisque kiln and I waxed all the bottoms of the pots.  I plan to glaze everything tomorrow and start the kiln.
