Trying some new items in the studio this fall. Incense bottles, among others.

New stoneware and porcelain salt shakers..

New items in the studio this summer. stopper less salt shakers. some from porcelain and others from a dark stoneware..

Did my annual or bi-annual pit/brush fire yesterday. A cool day. I had a nice North east wind that kept the fire going and  me warm at the other end. Burned most of the brush Lu and I cut last week from winter damage and 4 burnished stoneware pots. Not a very large fire but it's still hot. Pots were crusted with ash salt and metals from the firing. Careful scraping, cleaning and a final wax shows more subtle, earthy pots this year. Have a great day!

Here they are, about time, the first spring flowers in the garden..

Cranberry nut rye bread from the kitchen bread pot.. Yum!

Latest Beer bread baked in one of my bread pots. This pot is jut the right size for a small 10 to15 slice loaf.

Some newer brushes with bamboo, driftwood, copper pipe handles. The tips are deer, moose and horse hair.
