It seems that my upcoming show at the Mendel is starting to loom around the corner. Eeek.
My poor kiln has fired 3 of the last 3 days, and god willing it will continue to be good to me for the next month. Am I the only one that talks to my kiln and asks it to be good and hang in there? How much wood can one knock on before they are asking too much of the kiln gods?
Hmm…maybe i’ve lost my mind and have been in the studio talking to my figurines a bit too much lately.
Anyway…here’s a few images from the studio.
