Gary Jackson: Fire When Ready Pottery
A Chicago potter’s somewhat slanted view of clay & play
Categories: art fair, process

Sounds like fun, huh?
Yes, after a long summer of art fair packing & unpacking… let’s just say
that my storage room was “more than a little” out of control. Yikes!
Crates here… boxes there… pottery everywhere!!!

Luckily, my best “art fair assistants” (aka  – my Mom & Dad) also like to
clean, fold and organize things. Lucky me, huh?! So we spent the day down
in the storage room reorganizing my inventory. We pulled out all the crates,
unpacked everything, dusted, cleaned, separated and even did some re-pricing.
I found a few inconsistencies of prices between similar items. So we developed
some new pricing parameters and everything now makes sense. Plus, I can now
see more clearly what inventory needs to be replenished.

Also, while down there going through everything…
we also pulled out a LOT of pieces for the annual “Tired Of Shlepping Sale.”
I think it will be largest collection of clearance, demo & “shlepped” pieces ever!!!
Yep… coming soon to a Holiday Home Show near you!!!
That’s my place the weekend before Thanksgiving… mark your calendars!
