Pots going into the Kiln!



Pieces waiting to go into kiln.

  Yes!  I have finally loaded a kiln that was my own work.  It should be exciting to see them come out later this week.  The platter below is from Katie's shower that everyone signed.

You should be seeing my postcard soon in your mailbox (snail mail) for the Holiday Show.  The show will be November 19 & 20, November 26 & 27 and December 3 & 4 or you can always call and make an appointment to see my work.

I hope all is well.  Stay warm.  David


Kiln is 1/3rd loaded!  Break time!!



YWCA Group from New York City!

I had the YWCA pottery group from New York City here on Tuesday.  I gave them a short little show and tell in the morning after they all had arrived.  They then glazed their pieces with my glaze.  I fired their work on Thursday in my kiln.  There will be more pictures this afternoon when the pieces come out.

It was a nice day to have a group here.  Fall is in the air!

I'm Back!!!

Okay, this summer has gone by very quickly with Katie (my daughter) and Thom getting married in the backyard here in Connecticut and then having another reception/party in Minnesota six weeks later.  I wish them both much happiness and lots of love as they start this new chapter as husband and wife.  Congratulations!!

So, while we were in Minnesota we gave Thom and Katie a "Katie" vase for their new home.  Thom than shared with me that I should try making plates and bowls with this design.  So, I liked the challenge and have been working on designing some this past week.  Here is a picture of the lip of the bowel.

In addition, I have designed some new shapes to plates.  Gina helped me load a bisque this afternoon and I will hopefully get another bisque loaded later this week.  It's time to get back to work...

I hope all is well with you...

p.s.  Please look along the right-hand column of this blog regarding my teaching schedule for fall classes at both Wesleyan Potters and Guilford Art Center.

 

Trying to get back to work...

Bridal Shower Platter...

As part of Katie's Connecticut Bridal Shower - all the guest signed and wrote little notes to both Katie and Thom on the lip of a platter.  This platter has finally made it to the electric kiln.

Happy 4th of July (belated)!!!

Summer has arrived and the dog was enjoying hanging out in the studio with us last weekend on the cement floor.  Gina and I got the air conditioner installed and running for the studio.  I was able to load an electric kiln full pieces!  Gina carried up the final pieces from the last gas kiln to the gallery before the temperature was unbearable.

Stay Cool!
