Next week

With a wood fire scheduled for next weekend, today was really the last day I could throw anything to be included in that firing. I know... always waiting until the last minute. Have you been talking to my husband?!?

Anyway, in addition to several medium size bowls, cups and wine bottle coasters, I threw a few large pieces today. Not sure if they'll be dry in time to bisque before the firing, but I've got my fingers crossed. I could really use a little help from the weather - NO MORE RAIN!!! Please




The bowl below doesn't look that big in the photo but it's about 16 inches across. I always need at least one big bowl in my inventory.

The plan is to run a bisque kiln on Wednesday, unload on Thursday, start glazing on Friday and load the kiln and start a fire mid-day Saturday (which really means sometime before midnight - right?).

Interested in checking out a wood firing? If you can make it to SE Minnesota near Lanesboro, you're welcome to stop by.

Be well.

Sunshine

Since there was an extreme lack of sunshine here in Minnesota today, I had to peek in the cooling kiln to get a glimpse of something bright. This large yellow bowl is the closest thing to sunshine I'm gonna see today. And its still warm enough to feel like sunshine (probably should have been a little more patient before unloading).
