May Days

I will be at Art Star Craft Bazaar again this year! Look for the Snowday Ceramics booth.
Saturday, May 30th from 11-6pm & Sunday, May 31st from 11-6pm
Penn's Landing Great Plaza - on Columbus Boulevard between Walnut Street and Market Street in Philadelphia

The best part of last year was seeing so many friends, so I hope everyone can swing by again!

Art Star Craft Bazaar 2008

Who doesn't love a Bazaar? I was amazed by how many friends came by, SO good to see everyone. Yeah, the weather was a real drag on Saturday, a lot of the vendors closed up, but since pottery can pretty much stand up to the rain I ended up sticking it out, which worked out. Still I was glad that Sunday brought sunshine and lots of foot traffic, to make for a real festival atmosphere. It was exhausting, but fun, and encouraging.

Details to remember for next craft fair:

Have tape and twine. Always.

Get a dolly/cart. My family let me use their "Total Trolley" on the second day which was completely marvelous, as seen on TV.

Use paperweights to hold down the mailing list.

Bring TP and baby wipes, especially if uncertain about the bathroom situation.





The little tent that could!

Oh Jonah, did that load-in tire you out?

Pitching Tents

I will be selling my pottery at two craft fairs this summer!





Art Star Craft Bazaar
Sat May 31st, 11am - 7pm & Sun June 1st, 11am - 5pm
Rain or shine
at Penn's Landing Great Plaza (Columbus Blvd. between Walnut & Market Sts)
My booth is #78, down around the fountain closest to the river.






Art For The Cash Poor
Sat June 14, 1-6 pm & Sun June 15, 1-6 pm
Rain or shine
at The Crane Arts Building
1400 N. American Street (at Master Street, a little north of Girard Av.)

Both events should be a lot of fun, with live music and over a hundred talented artists and crafters at each show.

Leaving my office job in order to focus on ceramics has been simultaneously energizing and exhausting, but overall I am immensely satisfied with this choice. Many people have the opinion that a career in the arts = penniless, but I disagree, and plan on turning this into my livelihood. Although I have sold my work before, being in these shows is a major step. Thanks for everyone's enthusiasm and encouragement.

I'd love to see you at one or both events!
