 Come on out, wear your mask and enjoy shopping with the local potters 

Random pots from Ms. B

Just a few of the pots from the gas firing last week.

October firing Ms. B 2018

Ms. B and Halloween

We loaded the small gas kiln last week and Mark fired her up yesterday.

 So here are a few pictures to share.
More later as we are going to unload tomorrow.
Happy Halloween!

BOO!

Just add water

and a little skill and the next thing you know.
Pots are growing off the wheels.

Mark has several of the lamps finished and is now trying to think of what he wants to make to fill the spaces around and in between the lamps.
Vases? Bottles? Jars?Jugs?
Why do we get stuck in thoughts in January.
And, good grief, it was 50 plus degree's outside and the fish were biting.
What is a potter to do!?

He working until 4pm- yes he did, and then, went fishing.

This is what my camera does when it gets tired of me taking pictures....
There are not 2 carts side by side- there is only one cart. Double exposure- weird.

I would love to give you some insight into clay, pots, lips, bellies, lids, jars but the brain is having a hard time with the creative process of writing.
I think a lot about what I am doing but by the time I get here my thinking is all gone.

So pots, pots,pots- just working along.
more later!

Gone, gone, gone and a jug by any other name is

This will be quick because for me it has been a long, hot and sticky day and I think I need a dip in the tub!
The top piece has just been packed off to Texas to a very good home.
And here are 3 jugs by Mark.
Now off to cool down and put my feet up.
Cheers!

The view from the other side

I love when Mark makes jugs.
They really are one of my favorite shapes as any one who has been to the house can tell you.
What is it about a good jug?
Round and full bellies and the rims- I could just drool over a good rim.

Lay on a good handle with a little sass to it and I am done.

These will show up again when they come out of the gas kiln.
Cheers!
