SPRING

Well, today was March 1 and it felt like a beautiful spring day. Winter seemed kind of short this year even though it was a cold snowy one. We are back at work getting some Crystalline and Saggar pots ready for the spring. I will post some pictures on here as soon as I get them on my website.

Long Summer

I can't believe it's been since February since I last posted on here. Back in May, my right side started getting numb and it turned out that my cancer had come back on my brain stem. I spent the summer getting sunburned, not by the sun, but the radiation treatments. They thought they had shrunk it enough not to worry about until back in October I started going numb on the right side again. I have now gone through a Gamma Knife procedure and now just wait and see kind of a deal.



Anyway, throughout all of this, Lesa has been busy keeping us alive at the studio. I've been trying to get some work done on our websites and wholesale catalogs as this is way past due. Hopefully I can get some crystalline done soon for everyone to see. Lesa has been doing some REALLY nice Saggar work lately, especially with horse hair. If you get a chance, go to the Powdermill Pottery website and see it. Going to get off of here now, but know that there are certain people who follow our blog and I've kind of ignored it this summer. Stop in and see us.

It seems like there has been a lot going on, but there really hasn't been, which makes me wonder why I haven't posted since before Thanksgiving. Here is a sneak peek of a couple of new Crystalline colors we have developed over the last couple of months.

Iced Mint

Iced Mint is a new crystalline glaze we are now firing weekly. It's a gorgeous mint green with frosty halos.

New Stoneware Glazes

Here are a couple of our new stoneware glazes for the holiday season. Should have some new crystalline on in the next week.

New Crystalline Pottery

A few pieces that came out of last weeks crystalline glaze firings.
