Saturday was crazy. This is the first weekend after AP exams and I totally forgot about everything going on until JB emailed me about it on Wednesday. Oops. Big success and great turn out. This was my first time selling at the Art in the Market; I owe a big thank you for MAST for having me out their demonstrating. McKinney has some of the most friendly people and the best atmosphere.
So I kicked off my morning by waking up at 6:30 bright and early to get to the market. We got there and then madly setup the wheel at the Farmers Market. It was the first time I’ve thrown at the market.
A big thank you to all the people that made it out there! You guys made my Saturday very awesome. I had such a blast throwing and demonstrating. I got to throw this huge bowl to add to my collection. It was definitely the biggest piece I’ve demonstrated and I won’t lie, taking that thing back to the studio gave me a heart attack. But its been a week and I have scraffitoed this bowl and trimmed it.
Also my awesome math teacher came out and said hi, as did early shoppers and people just looking for something fun to do in McKinney. So that concludes Art in the Market. Thank you JB for having me, it was a great experience and I would do it again if you would have me.
Afterward, I headed back into the studio to trim lots of bowls. I sold two huge bowls that I had just come out of the kiln two weeks ago. Bowls are the hardest thing to sell because they are big and usually heavier along with the fact that they are a bit pricey. These two nice ladies bought both of them and as hard as it is to part with those two, I hope you enjoy!
My mother’s friend has recently came to Dallas for a business trip so I got to play tour guide for a bit and go all around historic downtown in McKinney. We were going to dine at Square Burger but that place is always full. Instead, we went to the new place down the street called Sugar Bacon, and shameless plug but their burger was so good.
Lastly, we loaded the car back up and wrapped up the day with Second Saturdays on the Square. This is the first month and I was in front of Square Burger. There was a decent crowd going but the weather was not the best so there were not as many people as usual, however, none the less fun. I threw another 25 pounds at Second Saturday and met a lot more people. Here are the pictures from Second Saturday:
And if you made it this far, I am uploading the complete album of photos from today. My mother is an aspiring photographer and so I get nice professional photos all the time which works out well. She helped me a lot and a accidentally wrecked her car by spilling slip all over her car so I paid for her car wash ~
