I'm taking a day off. For excitement, I may sit at a window and just watch the rain...(do I know how to have a good time, or what?!)

Wet sponged all shelves and ware boards in studio now yesterday. Slowly cleaning the studio up

A fireplace makes a pretty comfortable place to brush underglaze details...particularly when it is chilly in the studio

Just did an initial mix of my dry Laguna glazes. I've been buying premixed all this time. I feel kind of like I'm making a cake from boxed mix after buying them at bakeries all my life. One day I'll make one from scratch.

The cold snap finally passed, and the nights are in the high 20s (instead of below zero)! Fred's cookin'!

Just threw off the hump for the first time. Can't wait to get more clay to try a larger amount! A very exciting evening all round. :-D

Testing my new glazes and schedule on actual pots. First firing on 2016. If this is successful going to make larger batches and get to work.

Moving studios at the moment. Let's hope the new one isn't as noisy as the last.

It dropped down to 0F/-17,8c here last night. I wanna fire Fred...but, will my cooling pottery be safe in such frigid temperatures? D:

What is the difference between arrogance and confidence? Arrogance requires a voice, confidence is assured even when silent.

Posted a few pictures from my first glaze firing in my new L&L

Da Vinci left the Mona Lisa unfinished; deeming it one of his poorest works. The worst critic you will have in life- is you!

A nice clean studio feels so nice.

4 glaze fires this week-my last glaze Friday until later in February

Making pots, it's a mugs game.

I, too, have just had the best show of my career. What a year for potters everywhere!

2016 - Maybe the year I start selling stuff? EH?
