We're up in the North Country in our little hovel. I'm getting the new studio site ready, putting in a garden, and working on the hovel. There will be no clay until fall, so I'll have to live vicariously through the forum.

They're for storage of things like spices and herbs. They're based on the idea of medieval pharmacy containers. -

Putting feet on a simple round-bottomed handpipe. -
No, this was bisqued. The thickness of the primary glaze is pretty critical-- this piece is maybe a little too thin. But the ash glaze over it redeems it, I think. -

I hope the next challenge will avoid too specific a goal. I participated in a couple, but I just wasn't interested enough to devote time to a specific form that was narrowly defined. And at the moment, not interested in tile, though I've made quite a few over the years. I tend to find the more nebulously defined challenges more thought provoking. Still, my suggestion is the albarello, or medicine jar. It's a simple form, but can take many shapes and if we're not sticklers for authenticity, many decorative approaches. -

No, but I liked the movie. I saw it while at Da Nang Air Base in 1971. -
First glaze load in new L&L kiln.

I love it, so far. I still have stuff to figure out, but the ease and reliability of firing a kiln with a good controller... very very nice. And the kiln itself seems very well engineered. -
