I'm back!

Long story short...my mother was very ill and lived with us for a year due to the autoimmune disease, Bullous Phemphigoid. During the time of her care I broke a bone in my foot and crushed another. My poor husband, he had no idea retirement would mean wearing the hat of a nurse. So we've been out of the pottery loop for over a year.

Let's get on with the present. The studio is very near completion. I'll start with pictues of the glaze/kiln room. Let me know what you think!

When firing I roll this shelf in front of the clay shelf and open the overhead door for air circulation.








































This corner is where I mix glazes. I needed a place for my shelves and worktop to end so I used this old door!















The electric kilns are on rollers and help save space pushed up against the wall when not in use.  I'm so excited, a gas kiln may be in the near future. Probably shouldn't have even mentioned that yet.
More soon  - I'ts good to be back!
