Making for Christmas

We have been selected to take part in the inaugural Potfest in the City (of Glasgow). In our minds it’s Potfest Christmas and it’s being held in the lovely Briggait in the Merchant City. Every Potfest event is good. This one is new so a little unknown but we trust their marketing and the venue is well known for hosting markets.

It led us to wonder what to make. It’s different to previous events as we only have two tables which are going to be arranged to allow a good flow for visitors. So we are rethinking our stall layout but also products.

But – how ‘Christmassy’ do we go? Every year for some time now, we’ve made ‘limited edition’ Christmas decorations and so this year, we’re adding in a small range of tealight holders. Each one will have a seatree scene at the back and a short line of poetry at the front. Here they are just made, not yet fired. The decision then will be how to glaze so they are beautiful for Christmas – but also for the winter months following the festivities, so not too glitzy!

Watch this space to see how we might bring some sparkle to winter…
