a tall ceramic pot with poetry

Today we delivered to a lovely new gallery in Aberfeldy called Artisanand. We were there on holiday in October and visited the gallery. It was very spacious and full of good quality work. The owner, Angela, was very friendly and chatty and we talked to her about the possibility of contacting her in the near future to show her our work. She said to email anytime. Life/business got busy after that so it was only this month that we actually got in touch.

Angela had a look at our ‘blurb’ and images, our social media and our website and decided that our work was a good fot for the gallery. She then sent us options for upcoming exhibitions, to see which ones we could submit to. We chose the first one, which was called ‘Whimsical Imaginings’. At first, I wasn’t sure if our work fitted, but when we had a good look at the shapes, glazes and some of the words, we easily chose a selection.

Each gallery has their own way of working, so this has to be read through carefully. Angela needed information from us, images of each piece, and a consignment sheet. We worked out some time ago that it’s better for us and for your connection with the gallery and therefore with their customers, if we meet the gallery owner in person. Of course, this is not always possible, but Aberfeldy was  a beautiful two and half hour trip and we tied it in with a picnic together by the River Tay and then to meet friends near Stirling.

All in all, not a bad way to earn a living..

PS, we managed to go without the large picture we had promised so that now needs to be posted! Oops!
