California Artists and My Birthday!!!

I think you can feel my excitement...It's 5 minutes before the day of my 31st birthday and today I found out I got accepted to California Artists! For those of you who don't know (or aren't from the area) California Artists is the largest art and wine festival coordinating group in Northern California and once you're juried in and accepted into the organization, you are then able to participate in any of their scheduled events. Needless to say, my summer just got that much more exciting...and busy! Here's the list of dates of shows I will be participating in. If you are in the area or planning on attending any of these events, don't miss my tent...just look for the big "Chris Bryant Pottery" banner!

In light on my newly dawning art and wine festival ventures...I bought a new tent for my exhibitions! It's the E-Z Up Express II...built for the arts and crafts side of things...complete with sidewalls and everything. Nice!!!


So that's the excitement for now. Be on the lookout for Chris Bryant pottery this summer in Northern California. If you attend any of the shows, stop by and say hi!
