Monday I made pork chops with potatoes and green beans and served the veggies in my Kevin Crowe bowl. I really like this bowl. I also really like potatoes and green beans.

2016-08-28 - Sunday - Kevin Crowe, part 2
On the second day Kevin showed us more of his techniques and finished the large pot.
One thing I forgot to mention is that Kevin started off each day with a poem and the ones he picked were wonderful. On Saturday he read a Jack Troy poem about all the material that passed through his hands over the years. It was very moving. That one is not online, but you can read three of his poems here.
On Sunday he read "Axe Handles" by Gary Snyder, another moving poem. You can read it here.
It was a fun and inspirational workshop on many levels and it will not soon be forgotten.

2016-08-27 - Saturday - Kevin Crowe workshop
Saturday was the first day of the Kevin Crowe workshop. Like so many potters, Kevin is very talented and an extremely nice person. He is quite a potter and shares his knowledge and skills freely. He showed us so many tips and tricks to make our pots better and make it easier to do things.
Kevin wood-fires his pots in a three-chamber kiln. In the first chamber he relies on the wood ash to become a glaze on his pots during the four day firing. In the second chamber he puts his regular glazed pots and in the third chamber he uses salt to glaze the ware.
