Hi Matt, I've come over to the new blog, looks good. just read all the comments on the old blog to about poor shows. I've been there done that got the T shirt. I've decided not to do the big shows at £300 a stall, at my prices I would have to sell shed loads to even break even.
PS: I've just trialed a blue slip and I hate it.

Matt Grimmitt said...

Hi Paul, Well yes the big shows are pricey aren't they but that's really what I shall be aiming at in the future. I feel that there is so much work involved in Slipware that the big prices are definatly what I want to chase but it won't be my desicion as to whether or not I do them but I really do hope that the people that decide who they want in these events will see something they like and let me in. Blue slip, yes yuck, difficult thing to use on brown pots isn't it, i'm liking your Winchcombe inspired pots very nice bit of simple trailing is very effective isn't it and you have a nice flow going on there, keep it up. Cheers.
