mid way.

The studio has been rammed with pots for the last month. This week I've been able to free up some space by delivering another 25 pieces to Manx National Heritage, posting 20 pieces to the Devon Guild of Craftsmen and I've just finished packing up 30 pieces to post to Cambridge Contemporary Craft. In tandem with those sizeable consignments, I've been working on smaller orders. It's a relief to get successful, finished pots out of the studio. Shelves full of unfired pots make me nervous!

Now I have studio and head space to plan the next month's workload. This week I was offered a place at the Little Northern Contemporary Craft Fair - I'm thrilled! The organisers, Great Northern Events, have an excellent reputation and attract some incredible maker/designers. It feels like a real achievement that my work is considered good enough to participate.

In true silly-season style, the fair is one week after my open studio weekend, Christmas in the Yard, so time will be very tight indeed! Nerve-racking, but most exciting.
