Yesterday, I braved the labyrinth of IKEA in search of shelves. Having never been to IKEA before, I did not realize you have to wander through a maze of miniature rooms before getting anywhere you could actually buy stuff, or that half the stuff off want would be hidden away. Think I’ll order online in future and save myself the hassle.
After a few hours of frustration, we got done shelves and set them up at the convention center:

Booth W11 is my home for the next two weeks. Today is for installing lights, putting pots on shelves, and making my rental spot a little more homey. Also, figuring out signage.
And tomorrow, my first stint at the One of a Kind Show starts.

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.)
