So much has happened here since my last post on Monday. It has indeed been a busy week: many curious and encouraging visitors to the studio while I worked; a Gold-leaf-on-clay mini workshop; a making-clay-faces-demo at Colorado Mountain College; 3 barrel-firing workshops for community participants; my own first barrel-firing since my studio days (and late nights...) at Cockpit Arts, Deptford, London... Whew...
Workshop Participants write thank you notes and wishes to be burned inside of their magical pinch pots...
Pots are placed inside of barrel with paper and wood shavings...
Watching the smoking barrel..
Lifting pots out of the barrel with raku tongs.
Pots cooling on the ground...
Washing the pots..
Polishing with tile sealer...
One of the magical pinch pots with its maker...
Someone noticed the sky and we all went ouside to enjoy the sun setting in this magical place.
