    Art on the Avenue in Del Ray, Alexandria, VA has been rescheduled for Sat. Oct 10 due to weather. See you then.

      I bought some extra tarps and was ready to go, but I'm sure glad they decided to postpone it.

      I was packing extra tarps too. But will be glad to miss being out in the weather, whatever we end up with.

    Having trouble getting to sleep? Ordered a 1000 lbs of clay. Always an incentive to start making.

      Let's clarify- that would be 16,000 ounces. Now you are really tired.

      Or, that's about 32,000 spoon rests, or 1,000 mugs, with handles....are you tired yet?!?!

      First spring show is in April . . . plenty of time; no need to rush.

    Helping a fellow potter (in return for free firing) -- kiln floor and bag wall, cut posts from brick, hung new lights. Salt fire next weekend.

      Mark -- wet diamond saw, yeah. Big bricks into little bricks.

    Hmmmm . . . kiln log said last firing was in September 2015. How time flies.

      More like clay inaction. Have a major salt firing in April (1/3 of kiln); making wares like bat out of hell.

      One day I want to make some pots for a wood or salt firing. I really need to connect with other potter's in GA. I would love to have some wood fired pots in my house.

    Looks like the server migration gave the forum temporary amnesia for a 24 hour period, 6/30-7/1. The Administrators are aware. If you posted or added to your gallery, check to see if items are there; if not, you'll need to repost.

    NC Clay Club blog site just posted a notice for sale of pottery studio equipment in the Hampton, VA area. Wheels, kilns, pug mill, tools, etc.

      Any chance we can see progress pictures along the way?

      Pictures are being taken; too tired at night to upload. Kiln hard bricks literally weigh a ton. Did a lot of dry fitting with arch yesterday, warm up for the real event. Challenge on this one was building kiln to fit existing chimney -- although we increase flue size to match burners. Love hydraulic jacks. On to day 3.

      I can't wait to see pictures. I also assume we get to see pictures of the first unload of actual pots?

    Thanks. Sometimes the comments and commentors are just get too serious; a little levity is needed.
