Back from The contemporary Craft Fair, Bovey Tracey



Hi I'm back from the show. It was very busy and I thank for the organisers who made it so successful.


From the private view, we had lots of visitors pouring in to the show! Non stop! The weather wasn't stopping visitors but we had some wet time during the show.


This was my stand.


What a success show it was, this was my second time and this year I have made a good number of gallery contacts which made me very happy. My sale as good too! I have taken few new pieces and I have some people saying "Oh you have new pieces". I thought that people do check my work, promising!

and.

I have bought a present for myself which was 2 Golden Tigers from Helen Noakes ! Helen works with mini human and animal figures. The tigers caught my eyes and I didn't even had a moment of thoughts. Helen contacted me to exhibit my work at her gallery in October so as she was one of exhibitor I wanted to see and say hello. And I have met my presents. I will be showing my work as part of Geometry exhibition at 75 New Street from 5th October till 12th November.






Here are my 2 Golden Tigers!!



From now on, I'll be in touch with my new contacts and making lots of stock for following shows!

I am repainting my stand sets! Usually I use these items for the shows, my main table, wall decorations, posters and etc. I like to keep my show stand image as white which is easily get darts sometimes. So today I have to repainting my white table, drawers and bits and bobs.

I do pay attention for small details so it is important to do this. I've got lots of things to do be for the show! I'll do my best!
