| Bowl by Louise Harter - Dragon Incense Burner by Steve Murphy |
This tiny bowl, by Connecticut potter Louise Harter, has become my go to bowl for my morning boiled egg. I think it cradles it perfectly. I will always have a soft spot for wood fired pottery. My work style has evolved since losing access to regular wood firings. The work I now make is created with gas firing in mind. I miss being involved in the process from start to finish, an opportunity that we frequently had in New Hampshire. Jeff and I often talk about building a wood kiln, but right now it is financially out of our reach. Jeff will get his wood fire "fix" during the the North Carolina Wood Fire Conference that is happening in late Spring. He signed up for the "Pre-Heat" portion of the conference and will be able to fire work in three different wood kilns here in Seagrove. We will probably collaborate on a couple of ginkgo leaf pots to put in one or two kilns. I am sure Jeff will spend some winter days making teapots and tea bowls as we look forward to Spring.
