Claude has booked the salt kiln for Wednesday so I wadded my few pots and the draw-rings for that. I’ll refire one or two from the first firing. We plan to do slightly less reduction.

Les Manning’s Aesthetic contribution.

My new screen saver is this pile of sewer pipes behind the Medalta complex.

Inspired by Rosemary Cochrane’s ‘Salt-Glaze Ceramics’,  I threw some tankards and vases with more decoration in mind.

At 7pm more Residents’ Presentations were scheduled. Earlier a group from the Oldman River Potters Guild in Lethbridge arrived for that. I was delighted to see Elaine Harrison again. She and the guild were so welcoming to me when I was in Lethbridge for the opening of ‘The Attic Project’ with Eric Metcalfe some 10 years ago. Elaine is a member and past-president of ORPG and for the next 2 years is president of the Alberta Potters. Presenters this evening were Brenda Sullivan, Luann Johnson, Candice Ring, Rose Bauer, Teresa Gagne, Joanne Zabudsky, Sandra Mander and Sara Lynch. I hope to add a photo of each of these Residents with their work later in June.
