so it's a good idea to buy the magazines and look at the contacts. Don't be afraid to email through<br />

press releases about yourself with a few pictures <strong>of</strong> your work.<br />

Every year for the last 4 years, I have had a space at Art Sydney. <strong>The</strong>se shows are a great way to sell<br />

and meet new clients. I have also exhibited through trade shows, galleries and events like the annual<br />

Artisans in the Garden at the Botanic Gardens. I also sell every weekend, rain or shine, at Paddington<br />

and Bondi Markets.<br />

Sell ing pots is a lot <strong>of</strong> work and can be frustrating, as is making the pots; but, like any small business,<br />

it is possible to adapt to the roles we are required to do. <strong>The</strong>re is a huge market for handmade work out<br />

there. You just have to let people know you are there!<br />
