Numbering pots, pricing pots, packing pots ...




I'm finding there are always more details to be figured out in putting together the show that opens next Friday at StoveFactory Gallery in Boston. Taking off old price tags, figuring out the right prices for pots, numbering each pot for inclusion on the descriptive price list, building and painting shelves, getting out publicity ... it all goes on and on. I'm numbering and packing pots today because I'm off to Charlestown (it's a Boston neighborhood) to meet with Dara and begin screwing the shelves into the walls. And doing it all so that her paintings work together with my pots.
We open a week from tonight, Friday the 29th of April. Come on down.
Photos: The brochure that Dara laid out for us; cleverly, after the show it can be cut down the middle and each side works as a general purpose brochure for each of us. And many of the pots, now numbered, awaiting packing upstairs.

I thought you just sold the pots to a line of eager little customers as you lifted them off the wheel.Sounds like there might be some actual work involved.

Hollis Engley said...

Yeah, Dennis, I know. That's what I thought, too ...

Sounds like you've got a lot on your plate. Good luck with the show, Hollis.

Hollis Engley said...

Thanks, Michael. Well, the packing's done, at least. Now to load the truck in the rain tomorrow ...

Great idea with the brochure.
The pots laid out for the show look terrific - looking forward to photos of them set up with the paintings.
Congratulations on the show & break a leg !
