The October firings went well, although each one lasted a few hours longer than usual. Here are some pictures from the unloading of the 14^th firing, showing a larger serving bowl, a mug, and a new vase form. Many of the dinner plates and most of the square jars have all ready found a good home, but I’ll have a good supply of fresh pottery for the next few events.

Come on out to the Western North Carolina Pottery Festival in Dillsboro, NC on November 7^th.

December 4^th – 6^th is the Annual Toe River Studio Tour.

I’ll be heading down the mountain to set-up shop at John Britt’s studio near the Penland School along with fellow potters Joy Tanner and Susan Feagin, and woodcarver Rodney Hopkins. Click here for more info and a map.

The big weekend is here! It’s the Toe River Arts Council Studio Tour, of course.  Over one hundred craft studios to visit in the mountains of Western North Carolina, and out on the outskirts of Bakersville you’ll find two potters for the price of one.  I’ve set up my wood and soda fired work alongside the soda fired work of Joy Tanner at her studio.  Here’as a little sneak peak of the gallery set-up, but it doesn’t do it justice.  You’ll just have to come out and see for yourself.  There is even pile of ’seconds’ so you can find those discounted pots that need a good home.
