–Village Venture Arts & Crafts Festival, this weekend!
We are getting ready for something completely different this weekend. Village Venture is a new venue for us. It promises to be festive and vivacious with lots of artists, a children’s costume parade, many food vendors and live music. It should be a lot…
–it had to happen eventually.
We have been loading the kiln and firing our own work for almost 3 years now. We’ve had remarkably great luck for a coupla kiln beginners. Yes, we’ve had a few cracked tiles, but that’s mostly been from clay imperfections or unseen weak areas. …
–I spy with my little eye…
I spy a kiln opening. After taking some time away in the summer, we enjoyed getting back in the saddle of tile-making. We had a few special orders and commissioned pieces which brought structure to our timeline. Thank you tile-friends. We love a deadline….

–late summer work
We recently filled the kiln with a fresh load of bisque ware (from wet clay to a hard, fired piece that has a high “tink” when you flick it). We quickly followed that up with a glaze-load brimming with new designs, along with some…
–let it rip at cone 6

–fresh pickins’ from the kiln
WARNING…corny dialogue imminent (think…Leave it to Beaver) Tracy–Golly Jeepers, Soozee. You’ve been very chatty with the blog, lately. Soozee–Well gosh, I sure have been Tracy. Tracy–Why so much to say, all of a sudden? Soozee–Gee Tracy, we’ve been trying some swell new stuff in…
