Lark books, Burlington Art Centre, SOFA Chicago...

Lots has happened since our last entry!
1.) Lark books published 500 teapots volume II at the end of the summer. King's Point Pottery is one of the 500 artists. This is our second lark book we were selected for. The first was Plates and Chargers. Thank you to Lark for including us again. We do have both lark books available for purchase at our gallery.

2.) The Burlington Arts Centre, in Ontario currently has a show on until the middle of January 2014 called " Salt Soda and Wood". We are a part of that group show. Thank you to Jonathan Smith for including us in our very first Burlington event. Thank you as well to Gloria Hickey who introduced us to the people at Burlington.

3.) The world famous, SOFA Chicago, USA is on starting November 01, 2013. We applied and were invited on an educational mission to this world's biggest one of a kind (gallery craft) exhibition. There, you could buy for the same price, either a house or a piece of craft...amazing! We are very excited for our first trip to Sofa and Chicago.

(Unfortunately it is on at the very same time as the CCNL  xmas craft fair at the arts and culture centre in St John's, NL...so we are missing that wonderful show for the first time in 21 years! But we hope you don't miss the finest craft fair in St John's! 6th to the 10th of November 2013)

There is a whole lot more happening but a bit too early to blog about just yet. We will keep you posted!

Best wishes to all,
David and Linda
King's Point Pottery

Selected for inclusion in a new lark book!

King's Point Pottery has just been notified that they have been selected as one of the 500 international works to be included in latest version of "500 teapots V2" by Lark Publications based in Asheville, North Carolina, USA. (The very first in the wildly popular 500 series was coincidentally "500 teapots V1" way back in 2002.) This is the second time we have been published with Lark. Our first was in their 500 plates and chargers book in 2008. Sorry but I am not going to include an image of the specific work, as I wish it to be a  little bit of a surprise when it comes out later this year. Thank you very much to lark and their expert jury for the honour...and of course our many customers for supporting our work.

Off on a LARK....books that is...er, hopefully...

I was right there, in Asheville NC, USA, a few years back, the home of Lark Books who are known around the world for their 500 series on craft books. While it was not a big memorable space, was a place I'll never forget in terms of craft literature! Anyways... they just had a call for submissions for a new "500 teapots" that just closed. Unfortunately, we won't know for months if none, one.. or any of our four submissions will be included in their newest book. But having been in their 2008 book "500 plates and chargers"...we have our fingers and toes crossed for continued success in this next 500 series!

(Oh and the yellow teapot shown above...not ours..but I'd hit "like" for sure!)
