Post crash potter

So sales have fallen about 75% in Sept. and I am a little concerned. It seems like nobody knows what will happen to the economy. I make 3/4 of my income from Oct.-Dec. so you can see why I'm a little nervous. Having a degree in Economics doesn't help with the nerves these days. This year has been great. I have made money in months this year I only dreamed of selling pots during in the past. But now with the "crisis" whats a potter to do. Art is the first thing off the list when you loose income. So . . . I'll Blog about it.



This is my first attempt at a real blog. What will you find here? Just the day to day ramblings of a man who has been well wedged by the world. I am optimistic for the future. For the first time ever I am selling my pots online via Etsy. If you don't know about it, its a site for all handmade objects. Pottery fits that bill and I have even joined a team. The Etsy Mud Team! For the first time my work has made it out of the country now selling at the Gardiner Museum in Toronto and my work is selling at the Museum of Art and Design in NYC! Being a potter is like riding a roller coaster. Some days you are thrilled to be on top of the world. Some days you are so low you think you are going to be sick.



I will be updating this Blog during the weekdays only. If only a place to rant and rave, at least its a Potters Point of View.
