I?ve been working extra hours in my community ceramics studio getting ready for holiday markets coming up next month. I’ve become more skilled at throwing clay on the wheel and now have a collection of decorated and glazed vessels that will be available for sale in my local shop. I?ve also agreed to participate in a holiday market at a popular winery in Healdsburg. I?ll be selling art prints, ceramics, and other small gifts that I?ve curated. It?s my first time selling at a market so I?m excited to be jumping into that arena.
I?m putting the finishing touches on new holiday art prints that will be releasing on November 2nd, look for a feature with those fun and festive prints on Thursday. Here comes the holiday season! Favorite links from the week:
