10pm on another really busy day and the security guard will come to lock the door to the college internet room any minute.

I waited for Brenda to finish her wood-firing shift until 11.30pm last night so we had a more relaxed morning today. Even so I assembled another piece, a Watering Canard, monitored the careful drying of other jugbirds and sprayed several to leave for bisquing. Summer has finally arrived in Medicine Hat, ie it’s hot.

In the evening we attended an opening at the Esplanade Gallery. What a lovely Arts Complex, with several galleries, a History section, gift shop, cafe and a performance space. Harvey Fix explained his clay torsos which include artifacts from his long career in the communications business. I really enjoyed the Luke Lindoe show and and a 3rd show, of work by Saskatchewan pottery Hansen-Ross put together by the City of Moose Jaw.
