June Firing 2014

For me, friendships, enthusiasm and team-work are at the core of the wood-firing experience.  A deep level of trust and understanding has developed over the past few years as the core firing crew has congealed. We, the firing crew, find satisfaction in taking on responsibility and welcoming opportunities to creatively problem solve. Gradually, a new aspect of the firing process has emerged, one where sharing the responsibility of overseeing and executing crucial aspects of the firing has become the tone of the firing.  A big part of the value in pottery involves the friendship and  bonding that is woven into the fabric of the wood-firing experience.

The June firing was huge for me personally....the success rate and overall quality was beyond my wildest expectations...yet there is a sense that a continued commitment to the process will yield information, discoveries and goals beyond any of our preconceptions.  Exhillirating stuff!  Planning to fire again December 2014 ;)
