So life has been hectic and ever changing. There are still pots being made, there are a few textiles being made, and there is progress on the house and garden, and life is continuing on here in Cape Breton. This season there have been some changes, I am still selling at a few galleries, doing some wholesaling, but did not do the usual summer show in Halifax. Instead I have been selling at the Cruise ship terminal here in Sydney. Its been an interesting experiment so far, I have met some interesting people, and made some new friends. We are on break until August 21, then back at it full force through September and October. These next few weeks will be spent making tons of pots to sell in the fall season. Lots of mermaids and sea critters are being painted, and lots of new Celtic designs being made.
I am a professional crafts person, working in clay and fibre, not necessarily at the same time. I am a juried member of the New Brunswick Crafts Council, The Nova Scotia Designer Crafts Council and the Cape Breton Centre for Craft and Design.
Love those Celtic designs! Are they stamps, or hand carved?
ReplyDeleteBy the way, it's great to see you back on the blog!
DeleteThanks! its good to be back, the new Celtic stuff is keeping me busy for sure, and I am enjoying making new designs. The designs themselves are Hand Carved stamps based mostly on the Book Of Kells. I have made some stamps in porcelain, and some in Plaster, they are constantly being tweaked.
DeleteLiz, your stuff looks great. You should post more photos of it. Really. I'm throwing pretty well these days, but i'll never be able to do the decoration you do. There's not a bit of artist in me and you're damned good. I may need to get Mira to decorate my pots.
ReplyDeleteOh, I saw you ex at Service NB the other day. Looks like he swallowed a beer keg. Like his dad.
Thanks mira's papa, Its a struggle making a living at this. but I do love the work.
