This and that...
Postcards for the Home Sale went out today. Hopefully I'll be getting some new images up on the website on the Pots page as well as a few here from the firing. The firing turned out great. I was super happy.
Today I drove to Charlotte and went to a pottery show at the Mint Museum. It was very crowded and everyone seemed to be having a good day, potters and customers alike. I enjoy getting out and seeing pots and being on the other side of the fence sometimes. (a customer as opposed to a vendor). I get to chat with my friends, see their great pots, and occasionally make a purchase.
By the way the Home Sale is at my studio on Sept. 24th and 25th. Contact me through my website for more info.

Pots, clay, reading
Yesterday I mixed over 1000 lbs. of dry clay into a slip and pumped it into the racks to begin drying to throwing consistancy. This took several hours. At the end Sarah came out and commented that I looked like Pigpen (from the Peanuts strip). I confirmed by slapping my shorts and creating a large dust cloud.
Today I will unload the kiln. I have peeped in and the pots look good. Knock on wood.
I am reading a few different things right now. Letters to a Young Poet, by Rainer Maria Rilke. A Potter in Japan, Bernard Leach. And The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana, Umberto Eco. More on these later. Off for a walk then to work. I am getting started a bit late today, but who cares, after all it is Friday!
New beginnings...
This is going to be my new Journal Page, the old one on my website was too much trouble to edit. This seems like more fun too. So I'll be learning how to do this. Hope you'll visit often and pass along to your friends.
