Kiln firing

Opened the kiln today after firing yesterday. Blew a fuse in the middle of the firing, so lost some heat & time. Had to restart the firing. But the pots all were fine & a few are very nice.

2011 Holiday Open Studio & Sale

The Beach Pottery will be open for the holidays:

Friday, December 9 from noon to 6 p.m.
Saturday, December 10 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Sunday, December 11 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

If you want to visit but can't come at one of these times, feel free to contact me & I will arrange another time for you to stop by. I am around the pottery most days, but it is always best to check with me to be sure I'm there before stopping by.

Hope to see you soon!

Planning for holiday shows

I have started planning for my holiday open house/show. Might be open one Saturday in November and another Saturday in December. Will update with dates & specifics when finalized.

Today at Beach Pottery

A kiln load of pottery is cooling & will be unloaded today. Need to mix more turquoise and nutmeg glazes. Then I will be glazing and reloading the kiln so I can fire again tomorrow or the next day. Busy times.

Guess I'll Be Glazing soon

Ron helped

I had lots of bowls to trim & wanted to make them into colanders, so Ron helped me today by punching holes after I trimmed the bowls. Thanks, Ron.
