juicy wood fired pots

these are some my pots that came out of David Stuempfle's wood kiln this week...

button cups made with Laguna B-Mix, i love how the B-Mix fires in wood. these got lots of nice flashing, if i had been there for the loading i would have placed them a little differently so the fronts would have gotten more toasty.

oops... this tumbler fell over onto a button cup. the kiln was firing during the earthquake... perhaps that is when it toppled! maybe i can sell them joined together as 2011 commemorative earthquake cups!

i really liked this one, but the rim cracked :-(

and lastly... Jeff's big pot. i think she is about three feet tall... beautiful!

groceries, pizza and working to stay warm...

yesterday we took a break in the afternoon and headed to greensboro to explore some grocery stores.  upon the recommendation of a few people we went the the Super G.  Super G is a big asian market that is jammed packed with produce, fish, meats, tofu, spices and every noodle available under the sun!  from there we went to Earth Fare - beautiful store, great produce... very expensive.  Super G on the other hand was very affordable... but of course it isn't an organic store.  After Earth Fare we wandered across the street to Total Wine and more... i have to say they have a better selection than any wine shop i have been in... everything from cheap jug wine to the expensive stuff.  i enjoy un-oaked chardonnay and they had many to choose from.
we didn't get home until after 9pm but that didn't stop me from making a quick pizza...

it came out perfect!  onions, broccoli, pepperoni and sausage

there will be no slacking off today... we had a wood delivery yesterday

this pile needs to be stacked behind the studio...

so we can feed this beast to keep us warm while we make pots.  i hope everyone has a great day and that all my new hampshire friends and family are shoveled out from the 20" of snow that mother nature dumped on them yesterday... our 2" of snow and ice in seagrove doesn't seem so bad now does it?

good wood and wavy ovals

wavy baker - listed on Etsy... and the buyer will get my artichoke dip recipe to bake in it!

YUMMY

yesterday we had a cord of wood delivered by a reputable company... not rednecks who arrive in an 

S-10 blazer towing a trailer made out of an old pick-up truck bed (yes, that is how our $40 dollar mostly wet wood & sticks arrived).  these people had a real truck, the wood was dry and split and here is the BEST part... they came into the gallery and bought lots of pottery!  in the end we pretty much just exchanged checks.

P.S. we fired the gas kiln yesterday, can't wait to peek in later!
