2018-03-10 - Saturday - Wood firing

Saturday was the wood kiln firing. It's a community affair, like a barn raising. If you took a barn apart piece by piece and burned it, that is.

It really is a lot of fun.

Friday we unloaded some bowls for Empty Bowls. I was pleased with the slip transfers.

Later I went out to Lawndale to load Hal's kiln for the next day's firing.

2018-03-07 - Wednesday - Mint, yard, Empty Bowls

When I walked out on Wednesday I was struck by how nice the heuchera looked. It seems to be liking its home.

Wednesday night I went to hear Denny Gerwin speak at The Mint Museum. He covered his education and career so far by reading short stories he wrote about the people and events in his life and how they related to his work. It was nice.

To find out more about Denny Gerwin go here, here, here, or here.


Later I went to Clayworks to glaze more Empty Bowls.

2018-03-06 - Tuesday - Empty Bowls glazing

Tuesday night I glazed a batch of empty bowls. Onward and upward.

Waxed...

...and glazed.

When I got home I noticed a glow in the sky to the south.

It was intriguing.

Really intriguing.
