This weekend, we were at Thoresby Ceramics Fair, in Nottinghamshire. It’s the first time in a while that we only had one six foot table and no extra space, so it was a challenge to us as at many fairs, we get two tables, or an allocated space to use as we wish. This was our arrangement in the end. It may be considered too full but also it felt like we gave each thing that we make a space if its own. We also packed differently, cutting cardboard and making inners that we could just pop our pottery into instead of using lots of bubble-wrap (and time). That was helpful.
We have boards that clamp to the table. We used to have freestanding boards but they began to feel cumbersome and a trip hazard with their feet.
We ordered the sign from vistaprint to give us some visibility as only used to have the business cards.
We also have lights that we connect to a battery so that wherever we are placed, people can read the words on our work. They make a big difference.
The shelves are wooden shelves with blocks of wood to prop them on, giving us flexibility wherever our table is places and whatever size it is – or if we have two, we can arrange them accordingly.
The rest of the work is arranged on flat wooden squares/rectangles painted to match the display boards – that makes the smaller pieces of work more succint.
