Stoked about wedding


Ceramics built a friendship that continues to grow. I was honored to be the Maid of Honor and host for Sarah Chenoweth's wedding on September 13, 2009. Sarah married Brian Davis in a beautiful ceremony in our cedar grove and reception on our farm near our garden. It was a beautiful day to remember. Sarah and I became friends because of clay so of course I asked her to have a little fun with me in my kiln barn since we were all dressed up. Here's a shot of us having fun pretending to stoke the kiln with the new line of Carhart's evening ware.

Soda A la carte



This is the first video I've ever tried to upload. I'm a bit behind the technology ball. The subject is a portable soda kiln. Yes, a kiln on wheels. It was brought to MHCC in the back of a truck and we wheeled it down a couple 2x4's. It was built and demonstrated by Nick Geankopolos. In the video my friends Jennifer and Jack are introducing the soda mixture, which we got from the Gail Nichols book Soda, Clay and Fire.

Check out the flames shooting out of the mini stack and the door. Fun Stuff!
