June Update

I will be putting many of the newest birds on sale this Friday at Libertytown. If any of you readers out there are interested you should let me know…last time I sold them all in 24 hours! Beth designed this new extra large banner for the show…we’ll use it to announce each firings arrival.

I visited Charles and Ellen  this week south of the city by about 20 minutes. They are planning on building a wood burning kiln and I thought that I could be of help. The only book they had to work from was Rhodes’s kiln  book…circa 1950’s! I do think I helped a bit. Charles has been building cool things on his property for a long time…gazebos, gardens, towers, a nymphorium(!?) and this gorgeous dovecote. It’s not something that we Americans get to see very often. I know them from my days in England. This really is a beauty, although I don’t believe that it’s ever seen a dove!

I’ve also been helping a visiting ceramic artist from Cuba who is teaching a course at the University of Mary Washington. They are having trouble firing the old Alpine gas kiln. Another relic of the ’50’s!

    I have been swooning over the birds ever since the first one made its appearance and would absolutely love one for my collection. I will stop by tomorrow sometime to take another gander.

    Hey Dan,
    Maybe you should put some birds on your blog with their $s and sizes. I think folks would be interested enough to purchase them.
