Thanks Carole. Surprisingly for an opening only 1 painting sold but it was crammed with people who were maybe high profile but unlikely to dig deep. We'll see what happens once word gets round.
It's the worst time of year as people have spent their Christmas money and are holding back a bit. Wish you every success. Dennis.
They are Chinese Dennis my husband worked at Hollyrood Palace until recently and now works in a student residence, the Chinese students seem to think nothing of paying £2000 for the flight home for Xmas and a can't understand why we haven't been. Another has just flown out to Dubai to meet up with his parents. We maybe all need to learn Chinese and tap the market
Not many Gaelic speakers in Fife I wouldn't think maybe come independence! Although my OH has just told me there are a couple of the Chinese students that know how to say kiss my a.. in Gaelic which is more than I do
Good luck with it, Caroline!
I've never displayed in a gallery. Have you done your own advertising to get folks there or is this something the gallery does?
May those Chinese students remember they have family back home that they NEED to buy jewellery for

I really hope it works out for you Caroline.
Sadly my experience with galleries is that for the most part they're not worth doing any more. People I know who've had long established very successful galleries are closing because people know that they will get more choice online. The best gallery I was in was so busy that I couldn't keep up with supplying them a few years ago. Stuff was sold before I even got home. I pulled out a couple of years ago because my stuff wasn't selling any more. I can't rely on galleries any more. Fingers crossed that your gallery proves me wrong.
