Frost!? I guess it's OK. The deer already ate EVERYTHING in the garden...

Two lamp bases came through the bisque firing safe and sound.

The latest glaze kiln rocked. Excited to have new stuff for the last Sunday Market of the season.

Frankenstein caught a snake and entertained us out by the fire tonight.

Bisque kiln is go

Some of the glaze tests were not what I expected. Sadly.

Some new glazes are in the kiln. Looking forward to seeing the results!

My thoughts on what’s going on in Los Angeles:

Ambivalence is a word after all All the feelings—at all the same time—are exhausting

Rescued a bat from the cats this morning. He looked a little worse for wear when he finally exited thru the kitchen door. . .
