people (me!) love real open studios - seeing where artists work - all the things they they collect that surround them - their books ... our big county-wide C-Art stuttered this year because not enough artists signed up - and yet they know the amount of sales it produces - when you don't have to give a gallery their percentage. Have you spoken to anyone who's done it?
@merrelyn@anniesue I have opened my studio up before for a pre Christmas sale, but this time another potter is opening hers (near by) and has invited others to be part of it. I have no idea how much advertising she has done, or how many people she expects, but I thought I “should” give it a go...
These are beautiful, disappointing about the open studio but I guess you have to try these things. Do you still have some of your work in Margaret River?
