After meeting Steve Gruber during the Michiana Pottery Tour he asked me to sign up for the Elkhart ArtWalk. I couldn’t make it to the first one he asked me to be a part of but I signed up for the first ArtWalk of 2016 on May 11.
Chris Gustin Workshop at Notre Dame
The stars aligned perfectly.
The fine folks at Notre Dame offered a free workshop featuring Chris Gustin on April 5th and 6th. Ordinarily I would have missed this fine opportunity. Or I would have had to take a personal day (or two!) from teaching but this workshop happened to be right in the middle of my spring break.
So Tuesday morning I packed my bag and set out for Notre Dame. I parked off campus and made the 10 minute walk to Riley Hall. As I came in the door, I found Bill Kremer coming down the stairs. He pointed me to the ceramics area.

Top Pots of 2015
If you were keeping score at home, I struck out more times than Michael Jordan playing baseball when it came to keeping my blog updated in 2015. So I’ll show you a few of my favorite pots from the entire year here in one post. To see more selected work from 2015 click here.
Atmospheric Firing Results
I got a few of my pots into soda and wood firings last year with some good results.
Soda Fired Pots
We fired the #troyandmoeshow soda kiln just before the Michiana Pottery Tour and unloaded for some of the guests. I got a few pots in and some decent results came out.
