Visiting my studio in Willow is fine, by arrangement.  We are here coaching the snow to melt and the sun to shine! Now it's time for some spring cleaning in the studio.  Creating with clay is a messy... but satisfying hobby! ~ Carol

Once glazing was underway, I discovered there was enough new work to fill the kiln twice for glaze firing. Fortunately, those folks awaiting pieces were super patient, so I was able to take a relaxed (retired) approach, without the pressure of a deadline.  Also, studio time has been somewhat restricted due to visiting all those who help keep us in working order: dentist, optometrist, cardiologist, dermatologist, and the rest of the restoration team.  Must admit that a more relaxed approach to glazing allows for more attention to detail and trying new ways of doing things. Also allows for more reading and research. Nice!  Hope you like what you see. Sample pieces from kiln #1: Halibut ready for party. Fresh from the kiln... for you, Jean.
