I re-fired slightly less than golden brown cranberry orange nut bread. Then I made pecan bars like my grandmother's..Fun to taste a childhood memory. Sort of a pecan laden toffee on a crumbly crust.

What cone did you refire the cranberry nut bread to?

350F eating some right now!
Must go trim my saggers that I threw yesterday. Just finished shoveling snow off the walks.

while it was sunny yesterday, I rebuilt my new foundation for a larger raku kiln. It bothered me that the original foundation was the same as my old kiln which was a struggle for my ceramic saggers to fit into reasonably. Happy I redid it. only took 2 hours. Ordered new kiln shelves for this configuration. Now can proceed to build the fiber /steel chamber for the pulley system.
Yay progress.

Where in the world do you get all of your energy! Would that I could, but the shop is freezing up at night and takes half the day to warm up. Keep on keeping one! best, Pres

Pres, what are electric rates where you live? I have these great little heaters that Antionette uses in TN. How big is your shop?
I have 5 of these to heat comfortably my 650 sq ft studio. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Convection-Flat-Space-Heater-Wall-Mount-Electric-400W-Energy-Efficient-Slim-Heat/172978989419?epid=1445404048&hash=item284659e96b:g:IAUAAOSwrFtaChF3
even if you just had them 1 or 2 near your wheel, it could be nice. I have my clay ,50 gallon garbage cans on wheels or boxes on carts on wheels set near several of them around the studio..
I have been taking these vitamins recommended to me by a nurse practitioner at the wellness center decades ago. you can find them on eBay. Seriously, they helped me get better from Fibromyalgia along with retiring.

Plainsmen 340
One of my students who was from a ranch in central MT said that Plainsmen mined on their ranch, shipped it to canada and refined it. Who knows. that was 30years ago.

I was in their office & there was a map on the wall with all their deposits. Everything was distributed sort of like a circle around Medicine hat & part of that circle crossed the border so you are correct. they were really complaining about the costs of some stuff that came from further away in the US so there must be some ingredients that they have to order from other places.

Shipped off the work fired in good weather we had for a few days last week. Spent today packing, shoveling snow and warming up the car..digging it out of snow, and taking boxes to the PO. Came home and cleaned up styrofoam bead snowstorm where I'd been packing.
-
My previous post should have read more snow now, and more coming, ...sigh. Fired raku this evening with snow still on the ground.

Somehow, the "more-more-more" magically translated to "snow-snow-snow". .. I betcha everyone knew what you meant LOL

Frosty the snowman.....

I did get three more firings done. The next morning at 7 I ran out and covered the kiln. by 11 am it started 6 hours before the forecast predicted. Today is supposed to be nice then more snow. But the air is fresh and clean. My next firing will be sagger and they can sit to cool without the drama. Feeling better about scheduling firings and obligations for pieces. Obvara is going to have to wait for a warming trend.

Hi Marcia,
We are looking into adding the link to the Ceramic Arts Network homepage to the navigation bar at the top. From there you can access Ceramics Monthly, Pottery Making Illus., ICAN etc. Hope to have it up there in the next day or so. For now, here is the link: https://ceramicartsnetwork.org/
Thanks,
Jen
