After reconsidering all of the free wood in Paducah due to the ice storm, I have spent the day cutting wood for my next firing. There were several limbs down in the yard and neighbors as well and since I was cutting them up to move, why not cut some for a firing?

This pot is one of the first vessels that I wood fired at East Carolina University. It is quiet and the more I live with it the more I enjoy all of its gentleness.

With Ian Thomas arriving tomorrow, I am excited to have a fellow potter in town to help with the preparation and firing. Glaze vs. raw? I am going to see what happens....
