It's time to think about...

 ....the Maine Pottery Tour! 

Oh, wait, no it's not!! As proud as I am of the work I did building up the tour to the event it is today, I am only delighted to have handed off that work to Milly Welsh and her team. Now is about when I would be sending out an email checking in with studios to see who would be participating this year. 

I'm almost giddy that the tour will go on but I don't have to do it. 
One of the big things I am excited about is putting the time & energy I was spending on the tour as a whole towards promoting my own event. I haven't been unhappy with my turnout but I do feel like there's room to grow.

So! While I do not have to start thinking about the tour yet, I will soon. Soon, but not today! Today I am sorting, pricing, & packing pots to go to my consignment accounts, finishing some leatherhard ware, and hopefully making a video for my Patreon page. I'm going to try This One Weird Trick I saw on instagram & make a succulent planter. It's very fun & easy! I love contrast of the rough, tree-bark-y exterior surface with the smooth, refined interior. I think the soda kiln will be a great surface for it & preserve the craggy, natural quality of it. Picture it with Hen & Chicks or Zebra plants in it.
