Well, here we are, the afternoon before our exhibition and all is falling into place. The crates, filled with pots arrived wednesday night, less than 2 days before our opening. They sat in customs for 6 days in Bangkok - but fortunately arrived with no problems, all vessels and platters in tact.
And so, Tom and I spent all day Thursday setting up our show. Mom Tri's Villa Royale has a spectacular event planned on our behalf. There will be wine, cheese, food, of course, but also scheduled are 2 traditional Thai dances, scores of Phuket residents & visitors and dozens of press representatives. The man setting up the whole event, Khun Big, tells us "The Jet-set of Phuket" have been invited. (Khun Big, Brenda & Khun Sao - above)
Our setting up took about 8 hours - lots of fidgetting, pricing, talking to passers by. By the end of the evening we were thrilled with our location, pleased with the presentation and eager for the opening to begin. Here's a sneak preview of what it looks like.... below, Khun Dan, GM of Mom Tri's, helps us stabilize the plate holders and pedastals.
Finally, we're ready for the big day. Here - a night shot of our exhibit space.
