2014-03-15 - Saturday - Wood firing

Saturday I was at Hal and Corine's helping to stoke the wood kiln.  I am always grateful for the privilege of being a part of one of their firings.  It's always wonderful to see Hal and Corine, and a great way to spend a day.  There's always a fun crew there to help and it has the good feeling of a community barn raising.

What a difference a year makes.  Last March it was around 30 degrees and this year it was 70.

I can't wait until September.

Lunch break.

Peek-a-boo.

After firing, it's beer time.

September 2 - Monday - Pots for the wood firing

I've been rushing to make pots for Hal and Corine's wood kiln.  I generally try for more traditional shapes when I'm firing in that kiln.  It just seems to fit since it is a traditional kiln.

August 26 - Monday - Odometer and new pot

I got a kick out of my trip meter when I was getting out of my car tonight.

I threw another pot for the upcoming wood firing at Hal and Corine's.  It took me three tries since I was in a hurry and kept messing it up.  Third time's the charm, eh?
