By now, you've all heard stories about supply chain issues and the need to think ahead and early for your Christmas purchases. Usually, I start thinking about Christmas at the end of August and start production in September. Because I'm spending most of the Fall working on the Rex project, I'm getting a late start to the season, and I realized I'm the kink in my supply chain.
The new design has wire loops making hanging
easier, no fussy ribbons.
I still have three sculptures to complete for the project. Because they involve birdhouses, I'll have some new houses for you as well. Tis the season for ornaments; a new design and unique patterns are coming your way. I'm eager to get back to creating lamps and vases. Vessels are the best for getting your pottery groove back after a stint of tilemaking. I don't have a photo of the finished Rex Mural yet. Please come by the studio Friday, October 15th, from 5 pm to 8 pm, or Saturday, October 16th, 2021, from 10 am till 3 pm to view the finished mural. FYI: I won’t be posting a picture of the finished mural until the Rex Cancer Center is ready to unveil it.
Here’s a peek at a a section of the top left quadrant, pulled from the kiln last week. I fired the last six tiles Sunday night. Alas, a thermocouple blew and the firing didn’t reach temperature. A new thermocouple is on the way, but boy was I disappointed Monday morning when I saw the error code on the kiln’s electronic display.
