eight days a week

Well things seem to be piling up around here again. The doorway at the College is finally up and looks fantastic! Thanks so much to the crew who work so hard to get it installed.

This week sees two wood kiln loadings, one gets fired, one opening reception, one gas kiln firing, and oh, the first humidex warning of the Spring!


I have been frantically making over the past two weeks to get the work made for the wood firings. It seems like I just finished the last batch and was back at it again. I wish I had manged to get a bit more time to make this round of work. Some of the forms seem a bit rushed and I would have liked to see more bottles get finished.


I have also been fighting with some terrible cracking in my large slab basket platters. They all seem to be cracking through the center as they dry. My favorite bullet proof clay seems to letting me down on these forms.
