From the Wood Kiln

These are my latest pieces. They were fired to around cone 10 in Rob Sutherland's wood kiln. This is the first time I have fired anything in a wood kiln. Many thanks to Rob and Good Dirt in Athens, Ga for their help, generosity in letting me fire these pieces in their kiln and encouragement!!

So remember that mother/calf whale piece from so long ago?....

I so look forward to the next wood firing! You can find all but the Waking the Barnacle II for sale at Good Dirt in Athens, Ga. www.gooddirt.net.

On a side note, let me just say how much I love pottery.
"GOSH, I LOVE POTTERY!!"
I find so much joy from making these earthy, delicious, textural celebratory-of-all-God's-creature's pieces! I hope you enjoy them too. :)
