that's all

Today is the day the pots have to be to the kiln to start loading. I'm heading up this morning to help get the kiln ready and maybe start the week long loading. It's rainy and cold so it must be a spring firing. I managed to get a bunch of work ready and it is packed and ready to go.


The kiln was as always a cold damp wonderful place to be, filled with old friends and good conversation. We didn't get a lot done today by the pictures but it sure does eat up a lot of work on each shelf. We wondered if there was too much work and too little. Seems like we do this every time!

We got smart this time though and only brought down to the kiln enough work for the start of the back stack. Chris brought down this great potting table and we used that for what little brought to the

Here is a look at the first layer of work. Back bottom. I guess this is the last I'll see of it til it has been fired for 6 days and needs some fresh blood for the last shift! See you in 2 weeks pots.
Be safe, sturdy, and accepting of what ever comes your way...

Here we go again

Some times life gets in the way of the things we are doing, or maybe the things we are doing make up our lives? In either case my life has been changing and so I have been away from this place too long. I'm back and renewed and so is the blog!

Life became really busy around here about four months ago when we welcomed our daughter Olena to the world. My time flies by when your not able to pay attention to it.


Now that life is settling into a bit of a rhythm, I'm back to work and with a real push. I have 3 wood-firings on the horizon and a lot of work to do. None of the pots are made yet and the loading of the first one starts in a little over 2 weeks! EEEK!

I better get back to the studio, more to come, lots more.
