Catching Up

First things first: Happy Valentine's Day everyone !
Beautiful day here. Clear. Sunny. Pristine snow on the mountain tops. Lacy, iced tree branches glitter with prismatic colors as the sunshine adds radiance to their dazzling, sparkling surfaces.

Next item to address: Have approx. one more week of firing. Will then be caught up with the backlog of bisqued pots awaiting glaze and their journey thru the crucible to make their entry into the world as -- finished pots.

Routine here for the last several months has been: rise and shine, run out to the garage and offload the previous day's fired pieces, reload the kiln and torch the burners, feed the little Yorkie her breakfast, glaze pots for the next day's firing !

All that will change presently and we'll focus on photographing this body of work. (Pictures posted soon !!!)
Then, of course, we'll focus on marketing . . . .

In the meantime: Happy Valentine's Day
Chae

Accidently caught a flu and this is slowing me down a wee bit.
However, am sure i'll be feeling up to par in the twinkling of an eyelid and then will tackle photographing the pieces.
Have a greatest day
Hugs

Recommended Pottery Suppliers

Bailey Pottery Equip Corp: at http://www.baileypottery.com OR call (800) 431-6067 and speak with Susan. I would do more business with this company except it is out on the east coast and shipping fees to the Pacific Northwest are spendy.
Bullseye Glass Co: at http://www.bullseyeglass.com OR call (888) 220-3002. This is a great company to do business with! Very friendly and helpful. For those of you who wish to incorporate glass into your clay products, i highly recommend this company.
Clay King Company: at http://www.clay-king.com OR call (888) 838-3625 and speak with Chris Williams who is extremely patient with all your questions. He's a dear. The company consistently sells major pottery equipment at below market price. They are punctual in shipping, efficient (emailing receipts and tracking #'s immediately) and just a lovely group to work with.
Coyote Clay & Color: at http://www.coyoteclay.com OR call (866) 344-2250 and speak with Martin. Their speciality is Cone 6 glazes.
Georgies Ceramic & Clay Company: at http://www.georgies.com OR call (800)999-2529. This company produces awesomely versatile clay.
Paragon Kiln Company: I would not recommend this company. Bought a brand new electric digital-programmer kiln from them and 4 months later it stopped functioning correctly. They do not stand behind their products and their "warranty" is a joke.
U.S. Pigment Corp: at http://www.uspigment.com OR call (800) 472-9500 and speak with Saheeb. This company sells hard-to-find oxides and has reasonable prices. Saheeb is a joy to work with and seems to genuinely care about you and your success.
