Later, I watched the raku class at Clayworks fire the kiln. I'm not in the raku class, but I wanted to see them do a tumble stack glaze firing. It was fun to watch and yielded some amazing results.

2018-02-22 - Thursday - Grass and raku class
I mowed the grass for the first time this year --in February. It's going to be a long summer.

2018-02-17 - Saturday - Thonotosassa
Saturday we hung out with my parents in Thonotosassa. We went to breakfast, did some shopping, and then sat out on the patio. My dad has been asking me to bring some pottery with me so I set up a four foot table with some work on it. I sold a few pieces to friends in the park and then I packed it up again as it was getting pretty breezy.
Sometimes it's just nice to kick back and just sit for a while.

2018-02-16 - Friday - Florida
Way behind again. Life gets busy. Here we go...
Karen and I took a trip to Florida to see my parents and do some sightseeing.
We visited the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg. Along with the permanent Dali collection, we saw the Dali/Duchamp exhibit, and yes, we even saw the urinal.
The museum is a very interesting building by itself and I got a lot more appreciation of Dali's work. I had no idea the range of styles he mastered during his career. One of my favorites was "The Ghost of Vermeer van Delft Which Can Be Used As a Table".
Next, we met my friend Rich Meredith at the Morean Center for Clay. Rich lives in St. Petersburg so we don't get to catch up often.
We had a nice lunch with Rich and then it was back to the RV park for a 50's dance with my parents.
