2015-09-26 - Saturday - Festival in the Park with the Carolina Raptor Center

Saturday morning I had to run out to Mint Hill Arts to pick up my pots from the Earth, Fire, & Water show. It was a beautiful show and I'm looking forward to the upcoming Scary Creativity show.

From there I was off to the the Carolina Raptor Center booth at the 51st annual Festival in the Park. I have garlic pots in the gift shop at the center and the gift shop artists were invited to participate in the festival booth.

The rain kept the crowd numbers down and most people seem to come to Festival in the Park to only look at art, so there were only a few sales while I was there and none were my pots.

On the plus side, I enjoyed meeting the folks from the raptor center and the other artists that were there. It was a good couple of hours with interesting people.

I noticed this cover and thought it was pretty cool.

2015-09-04 - Friday - Rain and prizes

Friday we had a short thundershower. It wasn't even enough water to wet the whole grill cover. I'm ready for a full rainy day as it's been a very dry summer.

Friday night I went to Mint Hill Arts for the Earth, Fire, & Water show. It's a wonderful show of water media (2D) and ceramics (3D). I have four pieces in the show and was honored to have one of my pieces named second place in the pottery category. Unfortunately, in the hub-bub I neglected to get photos of the whole room or the 2D art (which was beautiful!). There was quite a turnout and I was quite busy catching up with old friends.

I grabbed photos of the pottery winners and that's as far as I got. I need to go back and re-enjoy the 2D art again before the show comes down on September 25th. If you're in the area you need to check it out too.
