End of the Season

For some of us, Autumn means the end of the Art Festival Season. Now is the time to follow a few maintenance and organizational proceedures.
In the Shop: Unplug machines to save energy. Sharpen and oil all blades that require it. Blow out the dust from inside all the machines and hand held power tools. Sweep or wipe all the surfaces including windows and light fixtures.
In the Office: Follow up with mailing list and client list. It's a good idea to email everyone waiting for art. Tell them when they can expect to receive their orders. Update your website.
Tip of the Week: Blasting air through your sanders keeps them running smoothly.
Shout Out of the Week: Thank You to Olkay and everyone at My Tour Expert for planning the ultimate getaways for tired artists and their families.
