This is my new plate display shelf that I built today.  It will sit up on one of my table top displays.  It holds 12 plates.  I don’t have 12 plates at the moment but hopefully will have over 20 by Saturday.

Carolina Pottery Festival. Cleveland County Fairgrounds, Shelby NC

(that’s one of my salt glazed teapots on the website, years ago)

Anyhow I hope you’ll come out if you are in the area. It is an indoor show.  I have some really nice pots, get your holiday shopping done early!!

    Very nice. I do worry about people bumping into the base with their feet. Maybe it will sit on a table?!

    It’s a great way to see a set of plates!

    I had wanted to apply to the show a few times, but haven’t heard that much from people who had done it, (except you). Good luck this weekend.

    wow, you’re handy! Plate rack looks great, even better when you’re loaded it up with your awesome plates! Best wishes with the show. Hope it goes well.

    Thanks everyone.

    Joy, no I didn’t know that. Got your email this morning. Busy girl. I hope your Etsy Sale goes well this weekend! (Get over there folks) http://www.joytanner.etsy.com

    MK, this will sit up on my table top display, so no danger of feet bumping. I just photographed it on the floor in the shop. It’s a pretty good show for me, of course I’m a local boy and have many regulars who come out. The quality of work is wiiiide ranging from students to full time potters. Terry and Anna King from Seagrove are there usually. It would be worth trying. The show brings in around 1500 people I think, maybe more. You could stay with us.

    Oh good. That’s what I thought. As is often the case when I leave a comment on the fly, I realize that I usually answer my own question.

    I hope you do well, you’re pots have come an amazing way since you started with the earthenware. I commend you. We still love the cereal bowls we got from you last year as you were new with this body of work. We need to come back and add to our Ron collection!

    Good luck!
