So is once a month Enough?

There's a thought provoking title for you. What's he talking about anyway?....hm? Oh, how often I post, of course!
I started off with the best of intentions but when you are running madly off in all directions sometimes it just doesn't happen. Since early July many things have happened which I'll try to recap. In no particular order here we go.
I got in a little exchange with Tony on Clay Art which eventually led to the potters who are members of the forum getting a chance to discuss how to look at their potteries as businesses and whether a studio potter can actually make any money and still be considered a studio potter. Must say it's all good fun until someone loses their perspective and takes themselves a bit too seriously then it rapidly goes down hill from there.
We were selected by a private pottery collector to sell his small collection of Charles Hilton pottery from late 1969 and early 1970. Real historical pieces. Charles Hilton was an influential person in that period who helped raise the profile of pottery and clay culture during the 1970's and early 80's in Alberta. He currently resides in British Columbia and now works in wood.
We have a "really big show" planned for Thursday the 23rd here at the studio. We are going to start carrying the glass jewellery of Vancouver torch glass blower Braden Hammond and he will be here in the studio to demonstrate glass blowing. The 23rd is also the day painter Richard Dixon will unveil the first trail guide from his upcoming book of River Valley paintings. We are going to start the day on television with Lorraine Mansbridge as she will do four cut ins from the studio featuring Braden blowing glass, Richard talking about his project, and Cindy throwing pots. Always a good time. Then depending on the weather we will set up Braden's equipment and Cindy's wheel in front of the studio on the sidewalk and give demo's if any one is interested. In the evening we have planned a reception for a couple of hours featuring Braden and Richard. Since we start the morning around 5 am and finish up around 8:30pm it promises to be a long and "interesting" day.
I've been photographing as fast as I can and processing images to update and try and include everything on the web page so that has been an education as well. Glass and pottery are probably two of the hardest objects to get a really good picture of. Anyway I'm pleased with most of the results and that project looks as if it will never end. By the time I get done it will be time to start over.
Next weekend is the Alberta Gift Show so we have to make time for that. Not really looking for anything new but then you just never know. Can't afford not to go. Gift show time means some of our wholesale pottery buyers clients will visit plus we get to see some of our "Show Friends" who we only see twice a year so we look froward to that.
If we survive through August everyone promises our sales of everything art related will pick up and all will be fine, fine, fine. Fingers crossed.
Nothing too personal this time. We are getting a good response to our videos on YouTube and plan on John bringing a couple of cameras into the studio soon to shoot some new material. It will give him some practice with his new video editing equipment and be a good addition to the training in video he is getting at school. We promise the lighting will be better this time!
Anyway, that's all for now.
Later
