Preview pots from the Preview pots from the 75th Firing December 2008 Kiln Opening Click on any of the thumbnail images to view a larger image. return to GALLERIES ARCHIVES • August 08 • April 08	Here's a selection of my pots from the 75th firing of the salt-glaze kiln. Each firing has its own character, this one produced particularly luxurious surfaces and consistently breathtaking quality.







	Joseph Sand and his Preview pots. These are just a few of the wonderful pots that Joseph made this go round, including a batch of charming mugs commemorating the 75th Firing. Beautiful!


	Alex Matisse and his Preview pots. Alex is off to a great start, quickly adapting to new techniques and materials, and has produced many sweet pots and fabulous decorations. Well done Alex!

	Eryn Prospero and her Preview pots. Eryn's visit from Nelson, British Columbia has been all too short. She's made some adorable pots, including many exquisite miniatures, and we'll miss her effervescent spirit. Best of luck Eryn!


	Before each kiln opening we need to clean all the pots, sanding rough spots, smoothing burrs, giving them a final polish before washing them and setting them on the shelves in the barn. Over the years Susan Willard from Raleigh and Terry Childress from Carthage have been regular pot cleaners, and this time Chad Brown, a talented young potter working in Seagrove, also joined us. Thanks to all!
