Crochet, Crochet and more Crochet!

It is still too cold outside so I continue to crochet! I am itching to get out in my pottery studio but I think it will only be a matter of weeks now!

A Year (and a bit) in review

Considering I have only been doing pottery for 15 months, I would consider 2007 a great success. I have my own wheel, kiln and a great little space to create. I have accomplished making my own glazes and continue to tweak my skills and take courses. In 2007 my pottery was in 5 shows and one craft fair and I have also sold quite a bit of pottery online.

So what does 2008 hold? This winter has been extra cold which hasn't allowed me to spend time in the studio. It has been hovering around the freezing point which means my clay freezes and my glazes are a semi-frozen disaster. So I am waiting for the weather to warm. In the meantime, I taught myself how to crochet and have been branching out into selling accessories such as hats and bags. I will also be selling these items online via http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5081673

My next show will be Wild at Art March 14 - 23, 2008 and I will be displaying dozens of birdhouses of all shapes in sizes utilizing the wheel, hand-building and extruded clay. For more information on the Wild at Art Festival, please visit http://www.wildatart.ca/
