I had a customer ask if I would make a quart mug with a tea strainer for her husband for Christmas. The moist clay I have thrown is 2 lb or 900 g. I started to see how I would do with such a large piece. The first 3 lb block failed. The second ended up a bowl that is a little wonky, the third made it into a cylinder. It is a little too wide, and I think I might need more clay to make it as big as she wants, but I feel really good about what I accomplished today.

Here's a coffee set going in my kiln this week. Can you guess the combo in attempting?

If you've seen my recent video on YouTube I mentioned an idea I had to try to help cordinate a global meet up. Very early stages! Since so many people are interested in joining the NCECA 2027 trip, I've made a facebook group where we can all stay connected and share info. Would be lovely to have you in the group if your interested.

Hi there. I'm finally feeling better after a long flu/cold. I'm looking forward to running my kiln in the next couple days. My last during was a disaster after one of my shelves broke during firing. Here are the before and after pictures.
