The Potter's House, St. Kitts is mobile

Over the past few weeks The Potter's House St. Kitts has become mobile.


Since my last post, when I talked about the opening at Spencer Cameron Art Gallery on Independance Square, St. Kitts, this past few weeks has seen me braking down the shelves and deciding to meet my beloved customers where I love to meet them....in the marketplace!

For the past 7 years, I have enjoyed selling at The Marriott Hotel, in the craft market area, which is located on the ground floor of the hotel. We, the local vendors are allowed to sell on a rotation basis...we have different days on which to sell....I sell on Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I also do pottery painting at 2pm on Sundays and Wednesdays. This will continue to be a mainstay venue for selling for The Potter's House, St. Kitts and the beautiful pieces I create.

I have also for many years sold my work in the craft market at Port Zante....I started selling pottery and jewellry at the Deep water Harbour where the cruise ships use to dock back in the mid to late 1990's down to the early 2000's, when we moved to Port Zante. Back then there weren't any buildings on Port Zante, some construction started shortly thereafter. Business was very good back in those days....at the Deep water Port and in the early days of Port Zante. Today, there is a plethora of shops but the discriminating buyer can still find us, the local craft vendor, in our market, tucked away between The Pelican Mall, The Post Office and the St. Christopher Heritage Society on the Bay Road, and Port Zante....It is called The Amina Craft market! I sell there mostly when a cruise ship is in Port. This I will be continuing also!

In the last year and a half, I added another location to my mobile selling spots. I sell on a Thursday night at the famous X's Shiggiddy Shack at Frigate Bay Beach. On Thursday night's the main feature is the bonfire and the fire dancer, who does a very sensuous and energetic dance while caressing his skin with a fire tipped stick...at some point he also eats the fire. The food there is also a major attraction since word spreads quickly about this sort after spot! This has proved to be a good selling spot for myself, Jenny and Milton who sells jewelry and other crafts and sometimes another vendor comes by selling cigars. I swim, watch the sunset and sometimes treat myself and my children to a nice dinner at X's. This is another spot where I hope to continue to ply my wares for as long as I can.

I look forward to meeting you there at some point!
