Luckily
for us, the day we fired the old salt-glaze kiln was mercifully
cool, and Firing 77 produced another wonderful batch of pots. The
big pots are particularly attractive, with fiery glaze quality
and strong shapes. We've also been using more of our local Chapel
Hill Gravel glaze, which gave us lovely soft greens and, over red-clay
slip, rich blacks.
We're also excited about the upcoming October
7,
8PM, nationwide PBS TV broadcast of an episode of Craft
in America which
features our pottery here, and Jugtown, near Seagrove. We'll have
more information at the sale, so come on down! |

Alex Matisse and
his Preview pots.
This has been Alex's last cycle here, and we are very sad to see
him leave. However, he's not going too far, as he has found a place
near Mars Hill, north of Asheville, where he will begin establishing
East Fork Pottery this fall. We look forward to seeing more of
his wonderful pots, and wish him all good things for the future.
Thank you Alex!
