SPLITFIREPOTTERY: KILN REBUILD
http://splitfirepottery.blogspot.com/2012/08/kiln-rebuild.html
Wood-fired pottery from my country home in Central New York. Friday, August 31, 2012. I've been plugging away at the kiln site. I have had to stop to get more bricks, silica sand and Hawthorn 40 fire clay for the mortar, etc. I do have some pictures of the latest progress I've made. Gate from above. There will be removable grate bars for the whole door width front to back, I have the just the front half removed here. I will be able to just walk in to load the kiln. Door arch is done.

SPLITFIREPOTTERY: Shows vs. Online
http://splitfirepottery.blogspot.com/2012/07/shows-vs-online.html
Wood-fired pottery from my country home in Central New York. Friday, July 6, 2012. Shows vs. Online. Shows vs. Online. But when I get those "gifts", it is so worth it. For when guests come over. They will put it out as a centerpiece with snacks, veggies and dip or a meal even on it. I think it takes the wisdom that comes with age about taking the time to slow down, even a little, to enjoy life's little pleasures. July 6, 2012 at 3:41 PM. July 23, 2012 at 7:56 PM. I hope to catch you at a show sometime.

Wood-fired pottery from my country home in Central New York. Tuesday, August 14, 2012. I'm going painting with Bruce Turner. We drove around checking his "spots" and ended up on this wharf that had what he was looking for. There was a pair of huge "sail boats" tied up to the huge dock pointing towards him. They were like this boat that I did take a picture of. I forgot to take a picture of what he was painting. I still have a lot to do, this is just an hour's worth of start. Widgets for Etsy Sellers.

Wood-fired pottery from my country home in Central New York. Saturday, December 25, 2010. I say most of her work because she gets experimenting with my stoneware for her batches of wood-fired beads that she will include in my firings and lately she has used my "Tully" clay for beads and gotten some really cool results. If you misses the Tully clay post, it's only a half dozen posts back. 65279; http:/ lovemyartjewelry.blogspot.com/. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Widgets for Etsy Sellers. BLOGS THAT I FOLLOW.

SPLITFIREPOTTERY: July 2010
http://splitfirepottery.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Wood-fired pottery from my country home in Central New York. Sunday, July 4, 2010. A NEW THIS . and a NEW THAT. Just wanted to show you some brushwork I'm trying again. The tricky part is getting it hot enough without too much ash to obliterate the designs. Placement in the kiln is everything. well very, very important anyway. Last time I tried it, I ended up with too much running. I know this type of work is usually saggered. but, I gotta' try it this way. And after glazing with a couple more pieces.
