  1. Gt a bisque fired last night. Lots of rain coming in from the Gulf and from Hurricane Patricia. Looks like Austin may get 20 inches. We may get 5.

      Patricia was said to be the strongest ever recorded. How well did you all get thru it?

  2. got my pieces fired but had to get propane. First supplier was out of gas. Second one filled up all 4 of my 30 gallon tanks. Only dropped 500 degrees while I was filling up the tanks. Got the pieces I need for the Yellowstone Art Museum.

  9. Recent trip to Andalusia and Extremadura .in Western Spain. I saw many pots originating in locations I had visited during my Fulbright research in 1985-86. Sadly many of these locations no longer have traditional potters. Spain's entry into the European Common Market, severely effected the production of traditional Spanish handmade pottery. It has all but disappeared.
  10. From the album: Pots seen during travels in Spain

    Roman pottery from Rio Tinto mining area. Roman mined the area after the Phoenicians. It is still being mined.

  13. Had a great trip to Andalusia , Spain and through Extremadura to and from Madrid. Saw many pots from where I had visited in 1980s doing research. sadly most of the traditional potters are no longer around.
