650 pounds of clay
There is nothing more satisfying than accepting a big delivery of clay. Aside from the brute strength needed to load 13 – #50 boxes of clay off the 18-wheeler *rig* and into the car that tests my aging muscles, there is an incredible amount of potential that is really exciting.
(some recent bowls in my shop.)
buyer’s anticipation
The new kiln is on order. Very exciting.
It is not quite like this:
A re-created medieval lime kiln in South Wales.
Or this:
Unknown location.
Or these:
Lime kilns from the late 1800s near Santa Cruz, CA.

something new
I love the combination of smooth, white, creamy glaze and brown clay. The darker red-ish brown line where the glaze meets the raw clay I always think of as burnt — even though it is just as cooked as the rest of the cup. Very thin, very nice. Available in my shop.

Helene over at Tartelette has a beautiful image on her blog that includes one of my small white pitchers. Helene’s beautiful food photography is rustic and bright, so homey. Her down-to-earth recipe shows off the the pitcher so nicely. Thank you, Helene, for including my piece.

loose bowls
Loose, as in very thin, undulating. Fragile and on-the-brink in attitude. Nothing rigid here except for the fact they are vitrified.

isaac button
In a day, Isaac Button could turn a ton of clay into pots. When timed he threw a lump of clay on to the wheel, pulled it high, then cut it off with wire in 22 seconds. In an hour, he could turn out 120 pots. In a day, 1,200.
