A really lovely hot day – and I didn’t get outside to enjoy it!

Finished applying handles to mugs. I threw and assembled a fairly large bird bowl and two silly little birds. They’ll be useful to test contrasting slips in salt. Potter Nicole Reidmueller paid us a visit with her children Willow and Silas.

Jim Etzkorn had a gallery opening for his work at the Community Centre in the afternoon. Salt and soda-fired work. Lovely. He is an artist in residence for the year and is working just near me. Again, most residents worked into the night. Not me.
