As some of you may recall, it was this October that I decided to relaunch my website and try to give the pottery a go.

A month later, our postal service decided to strike. Things were going well till then, but today I accept the fact any holiday sales are lost, and we won't be getting our Christmas box from home.

If you can boost this post and follow so that more people can see my work, it'd mean a lot at this stressful time.

The media says I should be mad at striking workers, but I support them. I actually blame corporate greed and government interference in other strikes in support of large multinational corporations.
Those workers on strike will be having a tough holiday too, but hopefully they receive a fair offer soon and I can start chasing my dream and hopefully future livelihood.

@alchemistsstudio Locked out and laid off. I'd say it's definitely tough for them. If the employer succeeds in driving wages down, there will be even fewer people with the cash to spend at small businesses.

It's rotten being stuck in the middle. I hope the corporation settles soon.

@alchemistsstudio Okay. Your work is amazing! I’d be interested in a piece but I’m afraid this might be a case of, β€˜If ya gotta ask, ya can’t afford it!’ Example, Nebula Owl or Polar Bear. All the best, my friend. Keep it up.
@bandersona1 Thanks so much for your kind comment. I'm glad you like those pieces. If you take a look on my website, the prices are all listed.

@KarenDorman thank you, I really appreciate that! I somehow missed your comment

@alchemistsstudio

Is the canadian postal strike still on?

@GuyDudeman yes, sadly so, since November 15th πŸ™„πŸ™„
The workers had even offered to do rotating strikes to minimize the disruption, but Canada Post locked them out (and the media barely mentions that part)
