WORKING

It is always nice to be busy or at the very least have enough to do to pass the days by making pots or working in the studio. The last couple of weeks have been busier than usual and I am not complaining; throwing larger v-bowls, covered serving bowls, various utilitarian bowls and teabowls and covered jars for a variety of surfaces in terra cotta. Part of what I am doing is making extras for a new gallery that will be opening somewhat soon (more info later), I was approached by the owner and asked if I would like to send some work and have been doing what I can to get things processed and meet these various commitments. Illustrated is a group of terra cotta "snowberry" bowls drying among shelves filled with various other pots and as of tomorrow, I am going to have to start pushing pots closer together as I tool and finish a group of smaller functional bowls and teabowl. As more pots get made it becomes more and more difficult to store and dry the pieces and then find room in the bisque and glaze fire cleans, it should all get worked out as it boils down to time and simply working for a living!
