Asheville Studio Stroll this weekend!!!!

Tomorrow, we kick off the Studio Stroll in Asheville's Historic River Arts District. Join us at the Clayspace Co-op and see the newest work we've made. Come on down. These stroll are fun. There are potters, glassblowers, encaustic painters, woodworkers, blacksmiths, sculptors and so much more. The last couple of pictures show a sneek preview of my display. See you in the morning!

hey hun, the kiln's unloaded.

Well, I'm friggin' exhausted. I went to bed at 11:30pm, got up for diaper duty at 1am and 5:30am. Got up at 7am to get goin' for the day. I took my son, Coleman, to child care and I worked on numerous things around the house. I unbricked the door of the kiln throughout the day. It was a hot sucker....ping. The results were pretty good. I have to grind the crap out of one of those oribe pots. It was a re-fire and just got a liitle fluid. It is a nice one, though. It's all part of the process.

Tomorrow, I'm setting up pots for this weekend's studio stroll. You should come and see me and my new pottery. I'm thinking about holding another raffle during the weeked stroll. It's fun and gets people excited about pottery. If you come you can enter. Maybe I should raffle one of these new oribe pots....hmmmm. I'll sleep on it in between diaper duty. Goodnight, moon.

Peeking again...

Looks like another successful firing.
