Ready for a week of heavy rains. I know it isn't what many of you are suffering right now, but I need sunshine in the winter.
-
wonderful reception and many old friends and fans came to the opening and Obvara demo.
-
Laying out my raku kiln shelter today. need to get that done. Must mix Obvara brew for the weekend demo at an opening in Nye , Montana.

It is fun. My workshop in Rome, Italy in 2005 got great enthusiasm from the group. We fired lots of work. And afterwards has a great potluck meal.

Back to work in the studio. Still recovering from sore throat and cough.

unpacking my studio and kiln shed. Even though it is below 0 F and we're shoveling daily, I am a happy camper.

In Billings, Montana
-
in Wyoming.52 degrees at 5:30 am. Unlike the tropics of Texas. Great to be in the Western landscape. We'll be in Montana by noon!
-
thanks for reminding me, lol. About Texas. I need a bigger AC. The drywall I added did bring down the temp by 10 degree. When I get more moola I plane to blow some installation up there. Stay cool.

In Providence, RI. Saw some great pots today at Friends of Fire Show at Chris Gustin's studio plus the unloading of pots at his Anagama kiln. NCECA begins!,,
-
Taxes done. Brew for Obvara has been sitting for three days. SO today I will fire!

After 16 years with my bailey wheel, I replaced the potentiometer in the foot pedal. It is running and stopping just fine. The problem was that all of a sudden it would lurch when I turned on the motor. It is now fine.
-
Did you take picture of repair I may have issues with my pedal?
-
no. I called bailey, described the problem and they sent me the parts. Disassemmbled the foot pedal, cut the solder ed wire off the old potentiometer, rewired the new one and put the pedal back together. They sent a three page instruction with all the info about the pedal. easy to do.

One day, today, of a hot blast from the Yucatan, then the Siberian express comes back tomorrow night. When will this settle down to normal.

Archie Bray? :3 Always wanted to go there...

I did a residency at the Bray but I use to take my classes these to see the art. I bought my clay from there for the University. This trip is fun. 23 Annual Wild Women's Weekend at Chico Hot Springs. My girlfriends and I do this every year. I miss them since I moved to Texas.

we still have highs in the 90s here and high humidity. I need to get firing lots of loads but slow drying and really hot. I have to wrap burnished pieces to avoid sweat from touching them.
-
fired large bisque of slabs for raku project and the last of the orbs for my exhibition
-
New dvd is out http://ceramicartsdaily.org/bookstore/raku-firing-expanding-the-potential-of-the-raku-kiln/ and I have not quite finished the website where it is linked. Will do by today!
-
Just added some new pieces in my gallery that I fired over the past few days.
-
smashed my finger in the studio door. Ouch! It may slow down throwing.
-
made porcelain paper clay yesterday. Starting some new ideas today.
-
Bisque firing for Obvara next week.
-
Slab roller is broken down and ready to load. I love Bailey equipment. My pug Mill is also ready. Took the lever and counter weight off, wrapped the pressure gauge as that got broken last move.
-
I have moved kilns and my kickwheel a couple of times. Last move I hired it out, they said they had moved ceramic studios before. My studio was in the basement and we had three floors above it full of furniture.

Getting ready to leave Texas this morning. Dark and foggy. Cats have been drugged, harness on one. one last shop cart to put into my van along with a suitcase, winter coat. too bad my snow boots are up there.
-
Be careful driving, take it nice and slow when you hit the storm. Don't forget emergency supplies.
-
-
yesterday was 57 but warmer in the sun. Worked outside cutting up sheet rock out the back of my van for my slabs. Much easier to move smaller pieces around.
-
