I will endeavour to be at the Market as much as possible and will post any changes or updates on this blog page. If a customer would like to visit the Trial By Fire Pottery Gallery in Duncan, BC, in person when i am not at a show, do email me, call the house or facebook message me and we can make an appointment. For some of my very far away customers, i am always happy to take a photo of a group of pots i may have and emal it to you, simply let me know what you need (ie. mugs or a teapot) and i will send a shot of what i have. Below a photo of the black bear Ethan and i met on the way home from a friend's house this afternoon, on the bike. cheers :)

when do i have enough pots for the show?

I have been making some very specific pots lately. time is very limited and i have both orders for customers as well as seasonal show preperation. the work i make for orders is always waiting for sixty other pots to join them in the kiln before they can get fired. this year i set out to make batches of specific pots so i would have a wide variety when the craft show season started. i didn't do the local show (christmas chaos at the local rec centre) because i was 9 months pregnant when it was on and had the forethought to know that i would either be HUGE or post partum and not in show shape in either case.
     I have signed up for "Christmas Chaos" at the Island Savings Centre on James Street in Duncan, november 14/15/16/17. The show runs from 12-8pm thursday and friday and 10-5 on saturday and sunday. This year we have a new challenge. Toddlers and breakables are an intense match espeially when i will be trying to pack in about 200 pots and there will be at least 150 other folks packing in their stuff at the same time. More details to follow....  :)
