It still could happen in 2008


So the snow is melting and the posts are no longer frozen together so I made wadding today and started wadding the pots...I know I could have been doing this while the weather was bad, but I'm so lazy...tomorrow I'm going to start loading and I hope I have enough pots and maybe Tuesday we can start tossing wood at this baby!! Cross your fingers for us.

Hope you are all well, happy and healthy
Namaste, Brenda

Postponed






Well, here we sit and wait, but at this point we still have electricity, plenty of food and beer. We scheduled the first firing for the 20th, but mother nature thought we should wait...so we wait. I think I might get into the studio and make pots since I can't fire them.

Namaste...Brenda and Eric

Within a Fortnight


We are finished with the kiln and busy making pots and gathering wood. I'm a flurry of excitement. Our goal now is to load the 19th and firing the 20th. Cross your fingers for us that the kiln Gods are happy and supportive that day. We will take lots of pictures and notes so we know what to do next time and maybe what not to do. Eric and I are nervous, but good nervous. He worked so hard and it's just as much his baby as mine. Our shelves should be in on Monday and we'll cut post between now an the firing and if we can fit it in toss together a pizza kiln with left over brick. See you soon! P.S. This is Eric's very specialized custom made glove drier. He is looking into a patent. He is a man of many talents.
