I’ve been home for two weeks now and I haven’t opened the bag of earthenware clay to start work again. Tomorrow…

For the last week we’ve been billetting Vince Pitelka while he gave a ‘coloured clay’ workshop at the Shadbolt Centre in Burnaby – about 15 mins from here. Al and he had long conversations about pots and archaeology. Nice.We also talked about salt firing. He doesn’t think we needed to worry about the special vapour filters when salting. He did like my pots and is taking a jugbird home to join his jug collection.
