Another visit to Ayr on a wet and windy day...not a day for a bike ride and depressing to stay indoors.
Pirate banked money from selling tyres and a wheel, we got a few hardware bits and bobs for a neighbour, then lunch in the bookshop café....
Down to the gallery again, and with luck caught the artist I met initially and the man who runs the building.
Back on the bus, then phone contact made with the other joint organiser of the exhibition...can I bring work in on Saturday?
This afternoon's headache is how to price my work, after not pricing any pots for ten years?!
Consideration must also be given to the rise in material prices, and the price of gas.....when you can get it...

Oh, wonderful--the snowball picks up speed fast, once it gets rolling!
Pricing artwork is a pain.
That, to me, was the hardest thing to do - pricing up. Good luck x
My first husband was a painter who sold many of his works through srt galleries and exhibitions. Pricing was a problem and he used to look at what others charged and also discuss it with the gallery owner. He found that many galleries - if they had exhibitions- had a set price.
Look on line and see what other potters are selling similar work for.
Good luck with sales. I love trips by bus, like Ayr as well.
All sounds very interesting. You're busy! It must be hard to be a potter, in that you can make a lot in a relatively short time but there's a limit to the number of pots that you can use yourself so you need to find an outlet. I make quilts and they take ages, so that so far I haven't run out of family members to foist them on to!
