Dismaland & Beyond

This Crazy life still has it's moments of peace and calm.

Whilst walking Caddy in the morning our local

countryside continues to inspire me.

Not just inspire

but make me stop in my tracks and just look at it.

The light changes so quickly when the sun is coming up.

we set off to www.potsandfood.com

www.potsandfood.co.uk

 earlier in the month.

It's the furthest North we go in our round of shows and events.

the journey should take about 4 hours

it took us 6 to get there.

We set up our stall to look as casual as we could.

The whole show is very relaxed and has a great feel about it.

We had a Brilliant first day with sales far exceeding our expectations.

Bu we never seem to get two days the same

and so it proved

Sundays customers although very nice, just didn't buy from us.

it was nice to see some of the other stalls doing well

they must have wondered what we were doing on day one.

we had also booked a B and B which was a first for us.

it proved to be the icing on the cake. 

This chap didn't sell it's still in our workshop

priced at £45.

I'm keen to pass on as many tips as I can to other potters

so here are two shots of a biscuit firing that I wanted to get this 12" tall

jug into, but didn't have the space.

so I laid it on it's side so it would fit in.

Last week we were able to visit the Bemusement Park

Dismaland in Weston Super Mare.

I delivered the final part of my 300 pot order

for the National Trust.

That was a good feeling.
