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???? -
interesting question.... Bucket with sponge and chamois, wooded knife, needle tool, and a variety of ribs, wood, silicon, and metal, and of course the cut off wire. loop tool for trimming. and occasionally stamps or sprig molds for decoration.

What’s on your workbench?
Up in Smoke Pottery replied to Pres's topic in Aesthetic Approaches and Philosophy
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. -

Awesome results!!! -
For those who don't solely support themselves from pottery, what is your full / part time profession? If you reached the point self supporting in pottery, what jobs did you do along the way to fill the gaps?

I have a lot of tables and glaze shelves on casters. Easy to move. I just built larger wheel top table for my wheel since visiting Antoinette's. Always room for improving. Got a magnetic roll of tape at Hoe depot for some throwing tools.

Start by throwing away everything single thing that you haven't touched in 12 months. You'll be amazed how much space you will find.

Why is it that you had lots of breaking this time?
-
Too windy, heard pots pot and crack with every gust.
-
Awwww, so sorry. I know the feeling, hearing the pots crack in the pit... I once was weeping during a 3 hours fire. Hope your next fire will be better- and not much wind!
