    "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful." 
    William Morris

     

    ".... And we will mature, and some element will become visible in our work that comes from our innermost experience in life, something that no techniques, nor any amount of historical training or courses in 'design' could ever foster, something that is our own, and unique. For if a thing is conceived in the depths of our being, we will find a way to express it: it may be crude and unskillful, but it will be honest and intelligible." 
    Marguerite Wildenhain

     

    "The link between the hands of the maker and the hands of the user seems increasingly important to me in this world where we are often distanced from the sources of the things we rely on to sustain us."
    Charity Davis-Woodard

     

    "Vocation: . . .where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet."
    Frederick Buechner

    latest firing.....

    DateSunday, May 30, 2010 at 6:35PM

    I have started unloading my last firing, and have uploaded a few images to the pots page. I should have most of them on the shelves by Tuesday afternoon.

    Also, I posted a new entry on my trials and errors while cooking pizza at home.

    ...............................................

    I hope you all enjoy your memorial day!

    Some of those new flat trays look like they warped in the kiln :-) Just kidding, I love them! Also really like the ?bottles? or whatever you are calling the cylindrical items with the tops on them. Do they have a particular use? Can't tell from the photo, but know you don't make stuff that does not have a purpose.

    Really like the way you have your new photos displayed. Nice to be able to look at each photo individually. Of course, you know I love the touches of red in the pots. Like the different sized glasses ( at least I am assuming they are glasses, and not spoon jars), and the fact that you have the matte glaze on the bottom and other glaze on the top where your lips go. Really like the feel of that glaze on my lips. The irregular platter with red and a fish on it is probably my favorite.
    Glad you had a good time today. Hope to see you later this week.

    Okay...looking back, I believe what I thought might be glasses are actually spoon jars. Hard to tell in the photos sometimes. :-)

    BAGC, yep, spoon jars. Glad you like the new stuff. I'm pretty happy with this firing.
