Yes, I'm getting ready for the Nov. 16-17 WillowAK Pottery Open House. Unloaded a bisque kiln tonight and have about three kiln loads of glazing and glaze firing ahead. Last week a couple friends came by and we made some ornaments/jewelry. It was a fun afternoon helping these creative ladies play with clay for awhile. Their pieces will be glazed and fired again; here's how they are looking now: The rains continue in Willow tonight. Imagine if all this rainfall had been snowfall instead! We'd have some happy plow service owners, snowmobile fans, skiers, and more. But it's not snow. It continues to fall from the sky, saturate the ground, and sit. I'm not hearing many praiseworthy comments about it except from those who are not yet ready for the cold of winter and have no plans to be heading Outside. Some have already left for the winter and others are busy preparing to do so. Our plan is to enjoy a beaut...
