I was at Rochester Public Market for the Artist Row today, and this was my last outdoor show this summer. Public market is located down the street from my studio and a good place to hand out fliers for the upcoming open studio. There were lots of bees and zombies in the crowd. Nice sunny crisp fall day.

I am getting ready for the first Friday in October and November and the open house in December. Back to the studio time. I talked my clay supplier about the sagger clay and found one premixed for refractory use. I am getting it next month.
Here is a teapot 25.

Teapot 25

We had very good weekend at the Elmwood Avenue Festival in Buffalo, NY. Good crowds, and weather. I got nervous when a festival staff informed us on Saturday of possible gust of 40MPH due to the Hurricane Irene on Sunday, but we got very lucky. We were at just out side edge of the Hurricane, and got occational gusts, but not as strong as 30MPH. I was planning to take pictures of the setting up, here is the tearing down instead. It took us a little over a hour . Next-up, the Clothesline art festival in Rochester, NY two blocks from my studio.
I added a new page for the one of kind teapots I have been making this year. I need to see pictures at once, and will figure out a better format for these pictures in coming days. Lots of them found good home.
We are in sort of drought this summer. It poured on Friday for 3-4 hours at the first day of the Syracuse Art Festival. Rest of weekend was sunny and hot. I sold more on the rainy Friday than sunny Sunday, that how these festivals go. You never know what happens. It was very good weekend, with nice music. One piece going to Kolkata, India, and another going to Vienna, Austria. Great knowing my pottery is spreading the globe.
