The beast in action |
My favourite thing about and in my studio is being within a few feet of the garden, the kiln, the garage, the kitchen and the computer. I know it's all a bit cliched and naff: I'm not a tortured artist (which is also cliched and naff), but, being a 'woman of a certain age', I like my comfort and peace and solitude and will probably have to start collecting the fifty cats soon....

The last load of pots came out okay (this was my Woo Hoo moment!). I'm still learning how my kiln works: half brick in flue seems to aid an even temperature, but makes reaching cone 9 difficult; no brick = cone 9, but only on the bottom. I'll rebuild the flue during summer, as well as patch and seal the kiln walls (too much heat is escaping) and that may help/work....

And finally, something I'll be driving to Sydney for the show. Everyone, this is Finley. Finley, this is everyone.
Hi Finley! So you are going to travel to Sydney too? Still debating! :think: Toss a coin I reckon!
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you, Finley. Can't wait to see you in the flesh/clay...
ReplyDeleteWhat a great set-up you've got, Charmain. You've even got some veggies growing there by the look of it. We've got too many wild rabbits here to contemplate doing that!
Finley looks a little concerned - hope to meet him in Sydney
