After a big Fall storm, some people were brave enough to come and have a chat during the Reception for my show at the Ottawa School of Art.
Fellow ceramic artist Hilde Lambrecht got me a wonderful bottle of wine with a Seahorse on it called “Promised Land”. It was very “À propos” for this show. Thanks Hilde! Thanks as well to all of those who showed up and those who have already visited and left a note in my book, as well as those who will come prior to Wednesday (when I’ll take it down).
A big thanks to Dawn Dale as well for graciously accepting to interview me for a YouTube video.

Nice!

Last Sunday, all of the artists collaborating on the show “Lines in Nature | La nature des choses” were at the Ottawa School of Art to take pictures of our work for the catalogue. While some of the pieces were still a work in progress, Paula Murray and I had decided to have it finished for the photoshoot.

On the project’s Blog you can see pictures of the artists interacting with each other. They were taken by Dawn Dale.

Here is our piece entitled On the line | En eaux troubles. It will be for sale at La Fab (Old Chelsea, QC) between May 23-June 21. A big thank you to our Maggie Knaus for photographing all the artworks that day. It promises to be an exciting show.

In my living room, I have an Ikea display case where I put some of my favorite pieces, as well as other artists’ work and some of the seashells and rocks I collected over the years. We had to childproof it recently. 🙂

Here is my booth at the Ottawa Guild of Potters Spring sale. It was my second Sale with the OGP and I was pleased to see some of the adjustments I made to improve my sales were good ones.

  • My newer pieces in black clay sold much better than older work (white clay, more artistic pieces).  I still have to offer more “functional” and colourful pieces (vases, mugs…) to meet the demand and improve my revenue.
  • I also put some Tibetan paper (handmade) under the pieces to contrast with the clay body.
  • I changed my lighting as well (no more white LED…what was I thinking?)

Thanks to Paul Portelli‘s lecture, I know I still lots of things I can do in terms on visual merchandising (the way I should place my work so it attracts the customer’s attention to the work).

Voici mon stand à la vente poterie de la Guilde des potiers d’Ottawa. C’est ma seconde avec la GPO et j’étais contente de voir une amélioration en terme de ventes dûe aux changements apportés depuis la première vente.

  • Mes nouvelles pièces en glaise noire ont bien vendu en comparaison avec les autres (glaise blanche et pièces plus “artistiques”). Je dois offrir plus de pièces “fonctionnelles” et colorées (vase, tasses…) pour satisfaire la demande et augmenter mes revenus.
  • J’ai mis du papier tibétain (fait main) sous mes pièces pour contraster avec la glaise.
  • J’ai changé mes lumières (fini les LED blanches…mais quelle idée?).

Grâce à la présentation faite par Paul Portelli, je sais que j’ai encore du progrès à faire avec ma présentation du marchandisage (la façon dont on dispose les pièces pour attirer l’attention des clients).
