So we survived the weekend, flooding will never reach us way up here! and Monday started with the usual get the kids to school run then into the studio. Glazed pots in Northern Lights for the 10 cu ft kiln and loaded it. had lunch then glazed pots in Raven Wing and Mountain Mist and loaded the 16 cu ft. Started the 10 running throught the program. Put a 10 hour delay on the 16 at 120 F , Cindy trimmed some pots she had thrown Friday! Has been so humid they were still touch and go. I put handles on a half dozen pieces and we called it a day. Will have another bisque load for the 16 as soon as we get it unloaded on Wednesday. Hopefully the mugs and jugs I handled today will be dry by then. Supposed to be close to 30 C tomorrow and with both kilns firing tonight one after the other should accelerate drying. Got an email from a gentleman tonight who had seen our video and gave it a glowing review. Said he had done filming and production of instructional videos for many years and he considered ours one of the best. Also the Edmonton Public School Board book store is going to take a few videos on consignment. Once it gets seen its gonna go! Gotta go so we can do the rest of the series! Tomorrow will be a little less hectic. Just have 40 mugs and a couple tea pots to get done for an order from one of the resort areas. I’ll unload the bisque from the 7 cu ft kiln and wax it , do a little clean up, (always suffers during a big production run) and maybe get a few slabs done. Running low on bisque slabs for orders. I got some pictures of the new bean pots today then left camera at the studio. I’ll post them tomorrow. We also glazed and are firing the lid for the heirloom beanpot for the gentleman to pick up Wednesday. Sure hope it fits! Pictures of that will follow as well. Chris our DVD producer and my music partner ( watch for the mp3!) finally returned from the maritimes! We thought he might be lost at sea. He enjoyed the news of the good reviews as well. See, he has this cool new Sony camera he wants to use on the next DVD, and he wants this one to sell so we can do it. Subliminal message here….Buy the DVD!…oops that was out loud wasn’t it. Oh well. Until tomorrow, potfully yours, jim
