Speaking of my BMAC plans, I got a chance to talk to the person who manages the ceramics section of the show. I explained that my little business is getting more wholesale work than I want for my business plan, and would it be ok if I only came to the show every three or four years? She didn't look super-excited about it, but said it was ok, though I'd have to be juried in again if I was gone for three years. I think that's fair, and I'm glad I had a chance to discuss my plans with her, so she doesn't wonder why I'm gone next year.

Here's a photo of me in at the show with Betsy Ratzsch of Betsy Ratzsch Pottery. She was shooting photos of herself with the artists that she represents, as part of a marketing campaign for her gallery in Ada, Michigan.
