Hay Crew,
Well in a few hours I better have everything packed up and pretty much rea=
dy to go when my buddy Dan comes over to get me up so he can help me pull a=
part the E-Z-UP and set up my first art fair in about 20 years. Man I'm in =
more than a frenzy!!! Spent the last two days putting together shelves base=
d on a design from Joe Dillett on potterybasics. Dan gave me a practice han=
d figuring out the tent and I spent a bunch of money at Wally World making =
some 8"X10" prints of parts of the process I use so I have something to hol=
d a customers attention long enough to explain the justification of our dea=
r prices. I'll probably use the cameras and use the pitch that they can the=
n confirm the provenance and become part of my circle of patrons. You don't=
get to slide and glide me anymore eh! That's part of the deal when you sel=
l good pots. Who knows when, where, or if the work becomes collectible so o=
ne might as well set things up so it can. The customer gets to be
just as famous as the artist. I'll get their permission of course, I might=
use it on my site, and I can get security footage at the same time. I thin=
k it would be neat to see the customers interaction with the piece as they =
buy it and how well I take care of their needs. Here is a start on the phot=
o album ...
