Sat down to throw a bunch of mugs and for the life of me I could not get the 1# ball of clay to center! It felt like I was starting all over again, like those YouTube videos of the ball of clay throwing the big football player around the wheel. I cut the ball off, re-wedged it to make certain there wasn't a lump or air pocket I missed, and tried again.

Do you find sales better at small shows( <50 booths) or large shows(>200 booths) or somewhere in the middle? What is the worst booth neighbor to have... A). The German Roast Nuts....the intoxicating aroma becomes nauseating after a couple hours B). Kettle Korn, with the gas burner igniting every 10-15 mins drowning out all other sounds C). The Peruvian flute players playing their whole catalog of music from their CD's D). The overly chatty neighbor with no filter on what details they readily share E). Beer Tent Others????

I have used Minwax Polycryllic to salvage damage pieces. Available at most hardware stores, and probably Walmart. Just follow the directions. It is crystal clear, but will need time to dry. I used metal stilts to keep the piece off the countertop and allows me to cover the whole piece.

Plastic bags here also. Dry Cleaners bags, garbage bags, grocery bags, whatever plastic I have on hand. Keep many various sizes depending on what needs covered. Easily replaced, don't take up much room. -

Callie it was great meeting you, loved the show!!! My wife says I should have bought the cup with the flask, she got a kick out of the description. Might have to make one for fun. -
