Paul B on tue 7 mar 06


I am interested in some feedback from anyone who did this show just
recently. I got into the kentucky crafted program a few years ago but never
got around to doing the show, now i would have to re-jury if i wanted to do
the show and am wondering if it is worth it. At first it just seemed like a
hassle since i am not set up to do shows at all, but at least now i have a
walk in/live in van that would make things easier, all i would really need
to do is throw a booth together sometime between now and next year and i am
even set up to process credit cards so that would most likely make the
retail part of it go a little better. But i just have not heard enough from
other potters to determine just how good of a show this is, from a
wholesale perspective. Any info appreciated.
thanks,

Dear Paul,

Call me and I'll talk to you about this show. There are pluses and minuses.
Also, you do not have to do the show to stay qualified. But, you do have to
either do the show or work at the show as a volunteer; I believe at least
once every other year. I've done this show for years. This year I worked
as a volunteer. I'm through doing shows and am selling from my studio, and
wholesaling. My studio number is 502 549-8225. If I'm not in the studio,
leave a message and I'll return your call.
