June 2015 firing photos

The first firing at the kiln in almost 2 years! The whole crew was stoked (pun intended) to fire some pots and get together again. We all agreed that the community around the kiln is just as important as the pots we retrieve from the flames and ash. Also, as we are "maturing" (i.e. getting older) the quality of food and drink at the firing has gone up exponentially! So this firing featured great eating, great times catching up with long-time friends and great pots. It doesn't get too much better than that.

This firing crew included: Jay, Alison, Nick & Peter Widmer, Deb Sether, Ted Ernst, Sandy Segna, Eric Moran, Pat & Joe Webber, Pat Berman, Rochelle Harper, Jeff Richards, Lynda & Bob Farmer and Aaron Reize.

 

AGAIN, a big "THANK YOU¨" to Ted Ernst for providing the photos.
