Folsom Christmas Arts & Crafts Show Tomorrow!

The kiln is cooling with one last load of plates for tomorrow's show. Unfortunately, the cake stand above will not be there, because I plain old ran out of space in the kiln! :( The up side is that if I do well at this show, I will be able to buy the new kiln I need! W00T!

My popular Jack ornaments will be hanging on their sweet little Halloween tree, along with a ton of other ornaments and goodies. Since I have a larger booth this year, I've decided to bring the Halloween things left over from this past season to see if anyone would like to buy them for a Creepmas gift!

The ShellHawk's Creations booth will be on the 900 block of Sutter Street, so if you're in the area, please come on out and see me! There will be lots of fun things going on for the whole family, and there are a bunch of cool shops that will be open for your Christmas needs, too!

See you there!

Historic Folsom Arts and Crafts Fair Saturday!

My kiln has been working extra hard these past couple of weeks. I've been glazing like there's no tomorrow, plus trying to get ready for my surgery, which is next week, already! The Folsom Christmas Arts and Crafts Fair is this Saturday, already, and though I'm in overdrive and short on sleep, I'm chugging along!

These last weeks have not been without setbacks. A few casualties, such as the plate above (along with half a kiln load of mid-fire ware), have occurred. Even so, I keep going. Mr. ShellHawk has been great about pitching in, keeping me fed and putting clear glaze on ornaments and plates so I can get things in the kiln faster. At this point, I'm only limited by how long it takes for the kiln to cool between loads!

I've already been thinking about how I'll need to plan my time for next year, and how I can add some creepy elements to my Christmas offerings. It should be interesting!

I haven't even had time to take proper pictures of everything, so you're getting the raw, in-studio snapshots!

In any case, if you're in the neighborhood this Saturday between 8:00 A.M. and 4:00 P.M., please swing by the booth and say hello! I'd love to see you!
