Cindy and I rode our bikes to the studio and back today. Put handles on the 100 mugs she threw last week and loaded a small bisque load in the 7 cu ft. Started it firing.
The weekend was relaxing pottery wise. My two girls and my four grandkids showed up around 10:30 Friday morning and we took off for the rest of the day and yesterday. Had a housefull for lunch and a good though brief visit with the kids. They headed out mid afternoon and we went into weekend mode.
Took John and Kaileigh and watched the Revenge of the Sith at theatre in West Edmonton Mall yesterday. Had not been there for awhile. Forgot just how busy it gets in the Summer.
We are just about caught up with all the orders and are looking forward to the next phase. We have to get stock ready for the August wholesale show, and get the studio cleaned up and set up for the Empty Bowls television visit in early August. Hope to have the new kiln in by then. I also have to get the booth finished for the wholesale show as we are expanding our display to 15 by 10 feet and it is currently just 10 x 10. We also want to play a bit with bigger pots. I still have to get a picture of the three piece vase Cindy threw the other day. it is drying nicely and should be ready to bisque fire by the end of the week.
Should be an interesting though short Summer.
