Both wonderful artists...Just having re-stocked my dealer in Boston with what I think is my best work yet, and hoping for some sales,. I also just started a relationship with another gallery in New Jersey, in November, nothing yet on either end... aand feeling a bit of the recession blues, for sure. However, there is also much abundance with a grant to build a new studio for creating and teaching. So, though things are tight, I'm glad to hear the advice of just getting to it! One must trust, that is all, and work, for, ultimately, the work always gets you somewhere.Valeriannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02621130622153365184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2365638669842033250.post-38595089135891144752011-01-15T08:36:31.215-08:002011-01-15T08:36:31.215-08:00I am really looking forward to coming to this exhi...I am really looking forward to coming to this exhibition John.Her work is definately inspirational.Margaret Bramptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10550971756240313432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2365638669842033250.post-74333153944133545702011-01-15T03:25:52.618-08:002011-01-15T03:25:52.618-08:00I'm sure that you could sort out some cheap fl...I'm sure that you could sort out some cheap flights WOL, and you would get back home at least once a month.<br /><br /><br />Hollis,<br /> what's good is that she is such a nice person without a hint of an ego.<br />I see her as someone who is really trying to carry on the Leach/Cardew tradition, not in the style of her work but with what she does.<br />She moved to this remote location, established the pottery and then started to provide employment for the people who live in this desolate spot.<br />Years ago she told me that this had been one of her ambitions.<br />She tries [and succeeds] to make lovely pots that orinary people can afford. It is not by her design that she is now appearing at auctions<br />and selling at high prices, it just happened to her.<br />I just hope that some of the money they fetch filters its way back to her.imaginehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18096877734466819623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2365638669842033250.post-2048013410737942032011-01-14T14:40:20.177-08:002011-01-14T14:40:20.177-08:00Brilliant stuff, John.

Think about hiring someone to do your books -- even if only part time. If I was a bookkeeper thinking of retirement, a part time job in your gallery would be just the thing. That would free you to concentrate on the things you do best and love most. I'd apply for the job myself in a New York minute, if it wasn't for the commute involved. . .WOLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03775462248193876148noreply@blogger.com
