Latest wood-fired results

Since there wasn't an opportunity to do a wood firing at the 577 Foundation for quite some time, it was fortuitous that John at the Manabigama Pottery Center offers drop-off wood firing. It couldn't been easier, you drop off your bisqued work and less than a week later, voila, it's done! Since I had not done any wood-fired work since August of 2011, it was a nice change of pace not to be concerned with slips or glazes. John was very accommodating in getting my work positioned in the kiln as I wished and I am quite pleased with the results. 

Tim and I picked my clay order at the Guild today. I'm now ready to do lots of pots. I must admit that I am quite fortunate that I have a photographer as a spouse and one who also hauls clay!
