Today was really nice out and even though I didn't feel like I got a whole lot done today, we did manage to work on the kiln a little bit. Here is the stack going up more. We've had a lot of cutting to do because the bricks I had to get where not totally the same size as the others. You'll notice two bricks that stick out from the rest and NO this is not a passive damper but a ledge for the pipe to sit on. We will take this up a bit more with bricks and than another pipe will fit on here to go up and out the roof.

I got all my mugs to the church today. They where glazed very plainly and went over well. Guess I should of taken a photo of them but they where so far removed from my normal stuff I thought I'd just box them up and send them on there way to do what I intended them too...make money for a good charity.

The opening for the Lark and Key was a lot of fun on Friday. Hopefully I'll get some photo's back from my friend Julie this week to post on here.

Here is my mug shot for the day. This was my morning coffee and this is an old mug made by one of my very good friends Amy Evans. Amy went to grad school with me and she makes GREAT pots. She, like most of us has had to put making pots on the side because she needs to teach and support her household. Her husband is also a potter and works as the clay studio cordinator for Arrowmont in Gatlinburg Tennessee. I hope one day both of them will just be able to make pots and do what we all love to do. This mug does not do Amy's pots justice!
