Rebuild Update #8, 5/28/22
More new pottery, and we are close to excavation for the new workshop
Everything I made in April and May is now on the store. I have mixed a fresh batch of clay (140 pounds), and I am starting on my June throwing. We have cleared the site for the new workshop, and we are close to excavation.
We have a new neighbor since the fire, and we have done a few projects together. My part-time Safeway job is going well too. They are very accommodating of my pottery efforts. My temporary workshop is running smoothly, and my glaze effects are performing well. I have been filling preorders successfully since early Spring, with outside diameters up to 9".
What I miss most these days are setting up and tearing down the pottery display, and everything in between. I look forward to unloading the van early once again, orienting the rack toward the brightest patch of sky, leveling it solidly.. pottery out by sunrise, arranging it into a flow, the whole display coming to life.. energetic discussion and fresh perspectives..
Sending my artwork into the world is the light at the end of my tunnel.
