High Time for TEA

This years lobby display at the 28th Annual Ceramic Showcase is "High time for Tea" sponsored by Smith Tea. I'm very excited about the tea theme and Smith Teas involvement. It should be an exceptional display with all the grace, joy, community, health, and whimsy that tea is all about. Oh, and let's not forget great taste.

Don't miss the show and tell all your friends and family to join you. All ages are welcome and will have a good time. April 30-May 2 at the Oregon Convention Center.

28th Annual Ceramic Showcase

Mark your calendars. Don't miss it. It's big and beautiful. Lots of things to see and do. Bring your friends and family...all ages.

Oh, and I'm at booth I-11

Just a week away

We are getting down to the wire and there are hundreds of potters in Oregon and Southwest WA that are scrambling around getting all their pots, garden art, sculptures ready for the largest ALL ceramic show in the US. Next Wednesday we will descend on the Oregon Convention Center and start setting up the show. It's organized chaos and Friday morning we open the doors to the public and hope they like what we do. Here's our add in the Willamette Week.

On that note...I'm going to take my dog Duke for a walk up our hill, breath deep and stretch. Then I'll come home and do what I've been doing for what seems like months...get ready for Ceramic Showcase.

Namaste,

Ceramic Showcase hitting the Roads

Well Look at That!!! Ceramic Showcase is hitting the roads to get the word out about the largest all ceramic show in the United States. Thank you Trimet. Which by the way is a great way to get to the show. The MAX stops right in front of the Oregon Convention Center.

Opened my Chicken Pot Pie kiln last night and once again got some nice results. We got come 12 down all over at 03:30 so we just went another hour and shut down at 16 hours. This was shorter then the other firings and we wanted to see the difference. I think it was just fine, not much a difference and got a whole bunch of salting effects, orange peel, and we didn't put any salt in the kiln. Strange, but they looked good so who cares.

Now, I'll head to Vancouver, WA and open the Soulgama kiln with the SoulBuds and see what pretty things we made there...so excited. Ted Ernst, Sandy Segna and Robin Hominiuk all fired last weekend at other kilns besides Soulgama too. We are all just bursting with ceramic energy.
