Delightful not to have to worry about transportation! The studio wasn’t too busy so I took the opportunity to use the glaze room to get some of my dry pieces all wax and latex resisted, sprayed with slips and set out in the sunshine to dry. 3 are my take on 18th century salt-glazed tankards from Germany or England. There should be a variety of salt colours; blue, red, yellow and green after the firing..

There’s also a fairly silly bird bowl.

Beautiful day to sit outside to eat lunch – with helicopters flying overhead, checking the water levels. I put spouts on jugbirds and pulled handles. After helping to load a bisque I suggested we take a warm walk over to the Sask River again. Luann, Teresa, Brenda and I enjoyed a break from work.

I threw some more pieces, really to use up my remaining clay and fill in gaps in the last salt firing. Most of the others will be loading and starting a wood firing tomorrow. I’ve opted not to do that.

7pm Gave Jin a ride home with B and me. While B cooked some chicken I went to Safeway. After supper we showed Jin where the Community Room is so that she could use the computer too.

Rain is forecast to start again tomorrow. What a strange June this is. We all hope the flooding won’t affect Medalta and of course our work time here.
