Holiday 2024 Musings

We had to get creative to reflect the 43rd firing (above).  Can you spot what we did???  Firing #43 is in the books.  This was a strange production cycle where I went from having many people working and creating in the workshop this summer to just two this fall (plus Owen on school breaks and weekends).  My new apprentice, Ben, injured himself (not on the job) and so his production cycle was stopped short. He is back home in California so you will get to meet him in the spring.  

This firing showcases this amazing "basalt" glaze that I've been playing with.  You'll find that its character varies depending on the piece and where it was fired in the kiln.  That's the fun of wood firing; you are given surprises (mostly pleasant) even with the most well-intentioned plan.  This firing is no different.  The surfaces are so rich and dynamic.  I am really pleased.  

​

We are featuring the works of several people: Ben Peregrine, Austin Harris, Kristine Fishman, Wesley Smith, Owen Sand, Redeemed Clay Creations (jewelry), and Hunter Glenn (pointillism dot painting).   

​

Comes see us this weekend, where we are jumping on the

Black Friday trend.  We will be open at 10am on Friday.

​

Much love and gratitude to all of you!

Joseph, Amanda, Owen, and Jacob
