I just found out today that I am officially accepted into a local juried art show/sale in the fall, http://www.sylvancircle.ca This will be my second year, so I am definitely pretty excited to have been accepted. It was a great experience last year, meeting new people, getting feedback on my work and it was great exposure. Even though it was a great success, it was definitely gratifying and rewarding to hear what people (other than family and friends) have to say. We are always hard on ourselves, and the quality of workmanship. This to me is an ongoing battle since I strive for perfection. And we all know with pottery, sometimes those imperfections are what people want. That's what makes art unique, and desirable to people. Especially to those who appreciate the fact that the work is hand made, not mechanically manufactured... there's a difference! That difference is what sets us all apart, as individual potters.
So I've been working on some pieces, getting a good variety of stock ready for the sale. I haven't been on the wheel for a while, and I definitely missed it. Here's a couple of pictures of some pieces in progress....
So... enough of the computer for today... I have pots to make! :)
