I have three mugs to buggify and attach handles to, and a jar to trim. Once they’re done, I’ll have nothing new to make.[1] There’ll just be bisquing and glazing things that are already thrown.
I think I’ll take the chance to relax for a day or two, and then sit down and tackle some of the non-pottery tasks of running a pottery business. Catch up on this month’s bookkeeping, get some more lights for my craft fair booth, that sort of thing. Maybe even get a handle on this whole Etsy thing, finally.
[1]Not because I’m out of ideas, but because I’m out of clay. The next order won’t be in for another few weeks.

My name is Maaike Charron, and I'm a potter in St. John's, Newfoundland. I started fiddling around with pottery in summer 2006, when I was told volunteering in the local clay studio would get me free studio time. I mostly taught myself, spending a lot of time poring over books, magazines and websites, and occasionally pestering the more advanced (but very helpful) potters around me with questions. After about two years, I decided I'd gotten good enough to go into business for myself. This blog, started after my first big craft fair, was created to document the process of becoming a wondrously succesful craftsperson. (Or it will document How Not To Do It. We'll see.)
