Thanks!!

Thank you to everyone who made our spring sale a success--from the folks who came to buy the work, to the artists, to the countless volunteers who set up, worked shifts and cleaned up. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
Our next sale will be in December, but keep your eyes on this blog for details about other events and news. Have a great May!

P.S.

A special shout-out to Rita Panton for drawing the fabulous characters on our posters/postcards. Thanks Rita!!

Drop off artwork this Monday

If you haven't already picked up some postcards and posters, please see Anna or Lauren. It would be great if everyone could grab a few and hang them up in their neighborhoods.

Monday is the drop off date for artwork for the sale. Julie will be in the T.A.'s office from 4:30 to 6:30 pm on Monday, April 28th. Make sure all art is labeled with prices and that your inventory sheets are filled out. (I'm having some difficulty attaching the inventory sheets to the blog, so I'll have extra inventory sheets in the office on Monday.) You MUST bring work on Monday if you want to participate.

Tuesday we'll be meeting at 4:30 to organize the work and plan the set up. Don't forget to sign up for shifts and help with set up/take down.

Spread the word.....the sale is coming--Wednesday and Thursday 8:30 to 6:30. Whooo hooo!

I know we don't look very excited, but our meetings are fun!

Come and join us at our next meeting!

Posters!

We should be getting our postcards this weekend. Please plan on poster/postcarding your neighborhood (and lots of other places) as soon as we get them (hopefully on Friday). Tuesday April 22nd at 4:30, we'll meet in the handbuilding studio. We'll split up into groups and go all over campus to distribute posters and postcards. We'll provide food afterwards.

The sign-up will be available that day too. Since this is a bigger affair than past sales, we're asking everyone to sign up for one set up AND take down shift, and AT LEAST one sale shift.

See you then!

Make-A-Thon

Last weekend we held a Make-A-Thon. Pieces will be donated by the artists and 100% of the proceeds will go the Ceramics Collective.
Thanks for everyone who participated in the making, of both pots and pizzas!

Fabulous new postcard for our spring sale!
