Christmas Shopping!

Just in time for Christmas shopping, my pottery is available in Wheeling, WV at the Artisan Center Gallery ( Check out there website for hours, directions, and info www.artisancenter.com )

And also available at Mulberry Corner Gift Shop located in Mt. Pleasant, OH (740-769-7639 for more info)

Kiln Work continues!!

In April we will have a show on the 3rd floor of the Artisan Center in downtown Wheeling, WV. That is my deadline for not only finishing, but successfully firing this Kiln at least once (hopefully twice).

The stone buttressing up front is close to being finished (I love how the stone walls blend into the Kiln). I have a lot of work to do in the back though...and I need more stones....

The first layer of the Kiln arch is almost complete as well. The arch is touching in the front and and back, and has reached the same level as the top of the loading door...

So close, yet still so much more work to do...

Bricks!!

Went and gathered another load of arch bricks from the pottery today... Honestly, I can't remember just how many loads I have gotten from there (Maybe 45-50??).

Hopefully I will only need maybe one more trip for supplies before the Kiln is finished...

Thanks to those who have helped me gather bricks and supplies from the Pottery over the years:

Black Sheep Vineyard Show Success!!

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Vineyard last Saturday to see our work! Your support was very much appreciated!

The great photos were taken by my friend Miranda Sherman.

Getting Ready For Saturday Show!

I was barely able to pull off in time a Pit Fire for our exhibit at Black Sheep Vineyard this coming Saturday! I made a dozen pieces which I burnished and loaded in the pit this morning. A few I even was able to soak in the Orange Creek before firing them.

Come by on Saturday and I will show them to you!!
