Missed May but I'm allowed!
The exhibition was BRILL!!!! Hard to sum it up without sounding like 'the
great I am'. The closest I can get to it is - if I was a musician and went
on stage and sang all my own songs and gave my best and then the lights went
up and there was a whole audience clapping and cheering - well that's what
it felt like. I staffed it everyday and talked and talked to everyone - 80
preview day then 60 and 40/50 odd over the BankHoliday. I sold a lot of
pieces, including big ones and I think one of the reasons was they were
affordable - only 20% commission, that made such a difference to the prices.
So everyone was happy - friends and strangers bought pieces of sculpture
they could afford but non-the-less felt special, I got some £s and the
beasts did not come home to languish in my cellar. The left overs are coming
to the Earth and Fire Ceramic Fair at Rufford Abbey later this month and
then anything left then can go to galleries while I get on with the
commissions I picked up.
I couldn't have done it all and been so successful
had it not been for Joy and our other 2 friends Sue and Janie.They were
marvellous. Joy dressed the whole exhibition, Sue did my sales book and
Janie made and served Pimms all Friday.Photos below.
What a marvelloue venue AND they have asked me back next year!
A GREAT BIG THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE WHO SUPPORTED STONE ZOO BOTH BEHIND THE SCENES AND BY BUYING MY BEASTS.
