CHRISTMAS IS COMING

 

 

I can't believe it's 1st November already, before we know it, the Christmas season will be here and we'll be frantically organising ourselves buying presents and goodies for the day. I started in January this year so wouldn't have the last minute rush making and firing porcelain decorations.

 

This weekend in Barraba is the bi-annual International Festival  and this year it's the Philipines.  Filipino food, music, markets and an  art exhibition.

I'm participating in the markets,  and have my small Christmas Tree, stand and pottery ready to go.

 

As usual the photos not the best, going to show you anyway.

 

I've enjoyed Mud Colony Blog immensely. Living in a fairly small isolated community,  it has helped me feel that I am not alone with my attempts at creating something out of the lump of clay.

 

I am in awe of the beautiful work shown on this blog and  will continue to follow all my favourite potters - (and that is everyone who has been a participant).

 

Now that I've finished rambling, I'm going to pop over for the last time and check out everyone else on www.MudColony.blogspot.com.au 

 

Wishing everyone a beautiful and happy Christmas

with family and friends.

 

 

 

 



Frost Over Barraba Art Festival

 

 

What a week and it's not over yet.

Since Saturday 22nd I have been involved in the setting up of this Exhibition.

The Tamworth Leader (newspaper) sent out a photographer

and I was captured on film organising the hanging of the Exhibition -

paintings, pottery and photographs.  We had just short of 500 entries.

Whew! what a huge job, but we did it with the help of lots of volunteers

and last night was our Official Preview Night.

I was over the moon, one of my pottery entries received 1st and

2 of the others a Highly Commended, then to top it off I sold one.

 

So you will understand why I have not been potting much lately, we still have

this weekend open, then Monday pack it all up for transport back to

depots for pick up by Artists. 

 

 

I can't wait for this to be behind us, so I can get back to my clay.
