For several years I was in the local art/craft show. It was in our tiny town, but a decent show. I enjoyed it and made a little money. Sadly, the show folded last year due to lack of volunteers. Without a show to prepare for, I was kind of adrift when it came to turning. I'm in a gallery as well, but they sell just a few pieces per year so it is easy to keep them stocked. Well this Spring, I made the leap and applied to be in the best show in the area.
I was a little worried about getting in. I attend every year, and they have really great exhibitors. Well, I got in! I'm pretty excited, but also a little anxious. My best stuff is good enough, but I don't have enough of the top material. I'm tempted to give away a lot of my filler material to force me to really step up. Also my booth/display is decent, but not top end. I have my work cut out for me.
Show isn't until September, so I guess I have time. I'm making a Christmas ornament display now. Need to stock up on pens. And then make some really funky bowls to catch people's eye.
