Bigger Bottles

I've had a couple cancellations for my wood firing workshop and needed to make some pieces to fill that kiln load.  Today I added handles to some baking dishes and mugs and three several big(ish) bottles.  Tomorrow maybe some two pound bowls with handles and I should be all set.

As mentioned above, I have a couple cancellations for the wood fire workshop so if you are interested in attending there is room.  Click here for more information. 

Yah!!!

Found out I was accepted into Thursdays on First & 3rd in Rochester this year.  It's a weekly market in downtown Rochester Minnesota near Mayo Clinic so it has awesome traffic.  Since this is my first year at this event, I'm just going to do one Thursday in June, July and August and see how it goes.  If it works well, then I'll do more of them next year but it seems like a great alternative to weekend festivals.  Now I just gotta get some pots ready for it.  Have a great weekend.

Missing Picnik

For the last couple years, I've been using Picnik for online photo editing and loved it.  Recently, Picnik packed up their basket and moved to Google+.  And boy did I miss that handy little site, but didn't really want to use Google+ so I could use Picnik.  My quest for a similar online editing tool took me to PicMonkey.  So far, it works very similar to Picnik and I love it.  

Catching up

I haven't written anything in a while because I've been super busy.  No apologies, just got lots of things to get ya all caught up on happenings here.


Two weekends ago, we fired the wood kiln with a load we planned to unload during the Bluff Country Studio Art Tour the following weekend.  We had great weather and the firing went well.  This past Friday, Saturday and Sunday we had a great time hosting visitors during the studio tour, even if the weather was cold and windy.  On Saturday night, a couple dozen friends and clients joined us for a kiln opening party.  Our favorite people, good food, wine & beer and a kiln opening - what could be better?  

I'm working on a slide show of all the wonderful photos and video friends took during the party.  But in the meantime, enjoy these teaser photos.
