Snowday!

Since taking the course at WBDC (see the post from November) I have been working on setting up a shop on Etsy.com. My profound thanks to my friends for their feedback and advice. I feel ready to start telling people about it. Introducing Snowday Ceramics!



Several people had suggested names for the shop, and I need to give credit to Lindsay Berman for coming up with this one. It evokes what I want my pottery to be about: comfort, being at home, delight and a little surprise. A bundle of marshmallows in a mug of cocoa. You are the marshmallow.

Etsy is a website that is a marketplace for handmade goods. In addition to pottery and ceramics you can find an astounding number of other items such as jewelry, paintings, photography, dolls, soap, purses, aprons, greeting cards, neckties, magnets, candles, amigurumi, furniture, beads, hats, needlepoint, stickers, dog treats, yarn... all made by hand.

What else is next? This year I'd like to show work in another consignment shop in addition to VIX Emporium, and also participate in the craft fairs I did last summer (see posts from June and May) as well as one or two new ones, perhaps in a different city. And overall to stay productive and focused, build upon what I've started, try new things, be happy that I'm doing something I like to do.
