Another 100° day. Firings kilns in the basement. Window unit A/C working hard. Trying to remind myself that this is better than shoveling 2 ft of snow.

You know you are getting old when you open the test kiln only to realize you never glazed anything!. hangs head in shame...

Off to salt kiln rebuild.

Headed to the CA State Fair today. It's an annual trek to see how my wife does in the Jam & Jelly Competition.

Harvested a bunch of veggies and will set up my vegetable stand today...

I 'have new favorite throwing clay..nara 5. I'll have see will fire well alternative firing techniques as well as with glazes. loved working with this weekend.'.

Real glaze firing going. I haven't been this nervous in months.

My "mixed mess" single fire came out beautifully! And the few pieces that did not do so well taught me what I needed to know.

Forum's quiet. Where have you all been?

Hey y'all! How's everyone else doing? I finally have GREAT news! My beloved husband's cancer is finally reacting to the chemo therapy that his oncologist has put him on. Third time's the charm, eh!?! YAY!!

slow day on the forum. I have done more messaging today than ever before.

Saw this video today, animation and pottery.

another big kiln glaze fire today.Show pots are starting to pile up.

Firing another celadon test, progressing right along to perfect surfaces. On another note, just had the best throwing night of my life. Out of body experience, blissfulness and peace. Was freaking amazing.
