Production

Sunday was the last day I could spend on the wheel and I decided I’d finish up with one last batch of mugs and coin banks. I ran out of steam at 75 pots! I used to throw like this all the time. Simple pots made quickly…the Winchcombe way. I’ll spend a couple of days putting on handles and glazing and then it’s time to begin loading the kiln. I hope that I have enough pots
( I always have this worry).
There seems to be a pack mentality to this blogging world. Both Hannah and Doug have also made coin banks in the last week and I’m stealing a few of their ideas as I finish mine. And Michael is now threatening to make some. Anna Branner at LibertyTown had made some as well. It’s got to be the economy!?


More nature photos:
I don’t like snakes…my response is rather biblical. But this black snake was full of some rodent and I had to take a photo. It’s close to 5′ long.


And here’s a little cheesecake for the ladies…Ryan Olsen has been helping me this spring…cutting wood, moving brick and generally tidying up the pottery site. This bird had crashed into a wall and he held it for a long time before it regrouped and flew off. A regular Dr. Doolittle!
