Today is my anniversary of pottery three years now. I posted an image on the gallery with more thoughts for anyone who wants to read it. Thanks to everyone here for all your wonderful help, thoughts, and support. Without you all I wouldn't be a potter.

Took a week off from clay and went Camping in remote Eastern Oregon with my newly retired wife its calfing season on the antelope refuges

Built glaze storage shelves and assembled a third wheeled rack yesterday. Muahahaha. STORAGE FOR DAYS!!

Packing up for first camping trip of the summer, yay!

Loading a packed kiln full of beginning student sculptures, is like putting an egg, full of nitroglycerin, into a bin full of more of those exact same explosive eggs. One wrong move and everything goes...

Our new house is turning into our home. Thinning out many things as we seriously downsized.

Love seeing the work of new graduates. Lets see more of this.

Week 9 quiz is up, Enjoy!
