I took my last remaining pots out of the two places in town where they'd been collecting dust, just waiting for me to remove them. Wrapped them loosely in bubble wrap in my little cart on wheels, and brought them home.
That was what was "going." It also makes a final statement about my life as a potter. Since 2012 I had made pots until 2020, but still had these out on shelves where they could be purchased. I had taken boxes and bins of pots every Satuday during summertimes for about 6-7 years to sell at the Tailgate Markets as a Mudbuddy. People ask me what I do to be creative these days. I guess I blog.
What's "coming" is another friend potter at the Tailgate Market...Amelia Packer.
I had shared a piece of her work (which I purchased) here.

Beautiful pottery, I see a few I would like to have. Take care, have a happy new week!
ReplyDeleteAmelia does make nice pottery, and sells it as fast as it goes to the market!
DeleteThanks for sharing these.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked them.
DeleteYes, I guess using words is a creative activity although I have seldom thought of it this way. I withdrew my photos from displays some time ago. It was something to do for awhile, but that is it. In my case, it hasn’t helped that I haven’t had a functioning printer for several years now. They aren’t readily available any more — at least not the larger photo printers.
ReplyDeleteTaking thoughts to become a post here in blog-land is creative for lots of people. For others it's just a way to vent! Both serve their purposes of sharing with others and maybe getting feedback.
Delete...over the years we have collected pottery. Each piece tells a story.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, I have a house-full of beautiful pottery by others, and lots by myself that didn't sell!
DeleteNice pottery!
ReplyDeleteIt is such fun to browse other people's pottery!
DeleteReally beautiful pottery there.
ReplyDeleteAs always I support craftswomen as much as I can!
DeleteWhat creative work! If you are willing to ship i would be interested in a piece of your work.
ReplyDeleteAll of this pottery I'm showing on this blog is Amelia's. I'll ask her if she ships.
DeleteI like her pottery especially the cups.
ReplyDeleteThey are neat aren't they? I bought one with the Black Mountain Tailgate Market on it...and some other things too.
