Taking a chance. . .

My confidence level is not very high with my pottery, but, here goes. This bowl was turned using Highwater stoneware clay, cone 6 electric fired, and glazed with John Hesselberth and Ron Roy's waterfall brown glaze recipe. I was surprised and pleased at how it turned out!

Two weeks ago I had a modular studio placed near my house, facing the creek. The electric and plumbing are next. I can't get in much of a hurry due to the Holidays though. My former studio is on the property, but I have to go across a 1 lane bridge to get to it and my dogs follow me. I am fearful they may get hit by a car. Outside of locking them in the house, there is no way to keep them from following me and they will not go home until I do. Besides, people keep stopping by asking to rent the place! I finally gave up and bought the modular unit. I guess the rent from the old studio will help buy more dirt!
