The show is almost here! Shelves were installed today, and I spent the evening putting cups on them. The non-fiction wall is done:
Just have to finish up the rest of the room, which is all fiction. Comics, graphic novels and BDs on the two plinths when you come in, sci-fi and fantasy on the bookcases, a plinth and a cube out-of-frame for children’s lit, and a windowsill of less interesting forms of fiction. And I should probably cart away the giant pile of recently-emptied boxes.

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.)

I’m in love! I just saw Judy’s write up and wow! Double wow! You had me at tea, but then you mentioned books and the connection between books and tea and I am mesmerized! What a lovely exhibition. Where do you display them at home? I hope that you have a great show!
Why, thank you very much! (And thanks for putting up your own link!)
I made the cups specifically for this gallery show, and I haven’t been able to display them at home. They’ve been in slowly-growing mountain of boxes in my living room since last fall. Putting them up in the gallery was my first chance to see them all together in one spot. :-)
Any left after the show ends November 10th will come to the Christmas Craft Fair with me. After that… I’m not sure. Maybe etsy will help me find a home for them. (And there are one or two I’d just like to keep forever.)
Thanks for the information! If only I lived closer. I have to go back and look at the pictures more closely! I teach literature at a local college here in Quebec, so I heart books!
