Comments (0) Allentown Art Festival in Buffalo, NY tomorrow. This is how my van looks when loaded. I need to bring lots of stuffs to the festival. It is like moving an entire retail store, and I will leave 5:30 am, drive for a hour and half and arrive there by 7am, and set up in 3 three hours. It includes a canopy, display shelves, back drops, a chair, shopping bags and wrapping papers, and lots of potteries, and list goes on. Hope see you there!
I was the 100 American Craftsmen this weekend. It was very well organized show as always. More and more shows are concern about the raising money to fund their our cause rather than the show itself. This show threats us very well, and works together with us to improve over the years. In fact, there is Sunday morning meeting with the stuffs and us over the breakfast.
I was looking at the left side of the booth using the pedestals, which weighs tons. I think I can replace with table with some raisers. This is something to think about it. Ikea shelves I bought on the right will not work on the uneven ground.
Next up, Allentown Art Festival on June 11 and 12. I will glaze tomorrow and fire on Tuesday to restock small pieces.
I have been working on new shelves for the show next year. The current shelves are more than 15 years old, and can’t find the same ones anymore. Last couple years, it starts to show sign of wear and tear, and are getting dirty. It is very sturdy and light, that I really liked them. It does not look as good as other people’s display.
It worked. I have been thinking to replace it for couple years, but could not come up with good design. I want it to set up easily, sturdy, light weight and compact to transport. I tried to come up with something in the spring, and run out of time before the show season begins. So I decided to work on now. This is a prototype. It is light, sort of sturdy. I need to figure out how to attach the back wall while stable against the wind. I realized the size frame is too thick to stuck up in the van. I am not sure the color of the shelve against the pottery is right one. I might paint it to white, or stain it to white. I do not know.
