The racks are full of pots, pots awaiting handles and feet and such are under plastic and part of the last firing is sitting on top of the kiln.

So I see no reason to make any pots today.  I need to finish up some things and get pots drawn on.  Okay that’s the plan anyhow.

Here are a couple favorites from the last firing.

And here’s a pic of me with Juliette Lewis from Saturday night’s concert!!

Kudzu and Kaolin

Clay Dept.

Thrown Together

Dirt Merchants (unfortunately there’s a hip hop band with this name)

Ring of Fire

Here’s the output for today, some small bowls, mugs, tall footed bowls that will be chickens, and a few bigger tall footed dishes.

I found out this week that I had two cups selected for the 2nd Annual National Cup show hosted by Barrett Clay Works in Poughkeepsie, NY.

I’ll have some pics of new pots out of the kiln up tomorrow. Hope ya’ll have a good evening.
