Colorado Potters Guild Fall Sale Invitation

Reverse

You are cordially invited to the Biannual Fall Sale featuring work by members of the Colorado Potters Guild.

Late last year I applied to become a member of the Colorado Potters Guild located on Old South Pearl Street in Denver, CO and was juried into the Guild as one of its newest members in early 2008.

The guild boasts 38 active and 10 associate members and we host a large pottery sale twice yearly. The Fall Sale opens on Thursday November 6 and closes Saturday, November 8.  It’s a great place to find handmade pottery by local Colorado artists just in time for holiday shopping.  Guild members staff the sale in shifts – I will be working Thursday evening and Friday & Saturday mornings if you want to stop by and say hello – especially if you know me through my blog.  If you have friends who appreciate handmade pottery, please pass this invitation along.

If you are a potter, the membership chair will be available to talk with you about becoming a member of the Colorado Potters Guild.  Openings occur occasionally and Marta Rodeheffer will be glad to provide more information about how to apply to become a new member of the Guild.  The guild’s facilities include 2 30 cubic feet gas kilns, 4 electric kilns, 1 vapor kiln, wheels, glaze mixing area, electric slab roller, extruder and a congenial group of people dedicated to clay.  The Guild also hosts workshops with nationally and locally known potters on occasion.

The show hours are:

• Thursday 6:00 – 9:00pm
• Friday 9:00am – 9:00pm
• Saturday 9:00am – 5:00pm

The Guild’s facilities cannot meet our space needs for our sales so we rent space for the weekend at:

First Plymouth Congregational Church
3501 South Colorado Blvd.
Denver, CO 80113
(Huge church at the SW corner of Colorado and Hampden – follow the signs)

In the meantime, as much fun as it is to prepare for shows, I’m looking forward to a more normal slower pace to return and hope to catch up with everyone later this week.

One last thing – thank God the election is over – and GO OBAMA! It was so exciting to see the results start trickling in last night.  I was alternating between glazing (yes I’m pushing it up to the last minute!) and watching the results until about 11pm last night.  Around 9pm, my daughter came bursting into my studio and exclaimed that Obama is the new president – I thought it was premature, but lo and behold, I came inside the house just in time to see McCain concede.  Wow.

Lots of things to do yet for the the sale and I have some exciting news on the horizon!!  Stay tuned….
