I don't know how long it will last

 ...but following the advice of my pottery teacher, my husband and I created an instagram page to post our work on. We did it for the pottery fair that we attended this weekend--our first time showing our work to the public--and I think it paid off. We did not make a ton of sales (no one did, really; there is a lot of uncertainty in Lebanon right now), but it gave us a lot of exposure and nice validation that we aren't just clay hacks. 😜

Someone told me about cara, so I set up an account there, too, and will probably move the Instagram stuff over if I can get around to it.  In any case, it is a family account and you can find us here: https://www.instagram.com/wayfaring_makers/ and/or here: cara.app/wayfaringmakers

The fair was, overall, a very nice experience, and we are happy we went. We met a lot of fun, creative people.

This piece did not go to the fair because I intend to keep it as a souvenir of our time in this country.  I carved it all over with flowers found in Lebanon:



I had a lot of fun carving it and can't wait to try another form with a similar motif.

I love your carving/sculpting. The 2nd link to the Cara site is broken..not sure if it's me or a typo

Thanks! I hope it is fixed now.

Wow. That bowl is amazing.

I think you should keep the Instagram acct and the Cara account. You want as much publicity as you can get, and that means cross-platform.
