The biggest news of the past 6 months is the arrival of our second child. Another daughter.
Life is Change
There is nothing permanent except change.
–Heraclitus
All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.
–Anatole France
So much has happened here. So much is about to.
–Walter Bishop
Back in the Blog Game
Well, it’s been over 6 months since I posted on this blog. Don’t worry, I’m not giving up. Just taking a little time off. 6 months… it has gone by in a blur. The next few posts will be a quick look at a series of changes that have happened and are happening in my life. I’ll try to work in a few new pots as well.
So get ready. I hope to cover topics such as: welcoming our new daughter, the new site!, my new place of employment, and a new sales outlet for my pots. Maybe I’ll even write about some new gadgets that I’ve purchased.
Top Pots of 2014
Here are some of my favorite pots that I made in 2014. Other than the wood fired cups these are all fired to ^6 oxidation.

Onward to 2015!
Happy New Year!
Now seems like a good time to look back at last year and make some plans for this new year.
Shot Glasses or Tiny Cups
I love making these tiny little cups. First, they are easy and quick. Second, they are great for testing glazes. Third, they fill in spaces between the bigger pieces in the kiln.
All fired wheel thrown, stoneware clay, fired to ^6 in oxidation.
