Gallivanting

Show and tell at the seminar

 I have been gallivanting for several days now. Last week I was in Virginia doing some research and then presented at the 2012 Virginia Decorative Arts Seminar. That was a great time, and always good to have great conversation and see great pots!

 Before I left for Virginia I dropped off some pots at Joseph Sand's, and will be doing a kiln shift this coming weekend.

An adventure on Sunday included romping out to see a 19th-century kiln site near Harrisonburg, Virginia. The Morris kiln site operated from 1872-1902 and was a fascinating round kiln that looked to have arches in the exterior perimeter of the base.
