Good Morning!
Posted photos of a kiln unloading yesterday -- a bisque firing with 90 pieces. If you're on Facebook, check out: https://www.facebook.com/WillowAK.Pottery
If you're not on Facebook, here's a sampling:
Back to cold temps here -- minus 16 degrees and going down, but we couldn't be more pleased with how the house handles the cold. No frost on windows and cozy inside.
Enjoyed the Willow Winter Carnival dinner last evening -- delicious pot roast dinner, great paintings created and auctioned, impressive fireworks display and lots of good visiting. At each of the community events we seem to meet someone new who's very interesting. Last night it was a couple who just moved here from Ohio, where he was a professor at Bowling Green -- English and African Studies. His primary expertise is on CS Lewis, about whom he's written several books, and his wife indicated that she's primarily a quilter, but does other fiber arts as well. Lots of interesting and talented people in the area and it's fun to discover them at the community activities. Sorry the temps took a dive overnight since many of the Carnival events are outdoors, and below zero temps aren't fun for those.
Think it's a studio day for me. Garrison Keillor will join me midday and if all goes well there will be more mugs thrown by the end of the day, along with some larger pieces. Have some experimentation in mind so we'll see what happens! Hope you're having a good day wherever you are!
