1. I want to improve the quality of pictures that I take. Right now I must use my iPhone and take a quick picture when something comes out of the kiln. I'd like to have better quality images. I believe that could help me sell more online
2. I want to take more risks. Right now I'm worried about items turning out perfect after each firing. I want to wrk on projects that will push my creativity and will take multiple trips to the kiln to get it just right. After I get my Christmas stock done I will commentate on more technical and creative projects.
3. Build more of a client base. I'm not sure how to really go about this other then continue to go to markets. I am thinking of attending a market at the end of Sept. and have applied for three Christmas markets, which I have been accepted to. I have also been asked if I want a spot in a little shop by Edmonton. I'd have to commit to 3 months and pay about 60$ a month for my spot. I'd also be responsible to upkeep and check on my items which could be difficult as the shop is a 90 minutes drive. I think I should look for a similar shop closer to home. I would love to see my pieces in a store or gallery. I guess I need to get some confidence and try approaching a gallery.... Eek!
I'm starting to get a few Christmas orders, so if there is something g specific you'd like let me know so I can either put it aside or find time to work on it!
