So much to do!

It’s just a garage. Moreover, it’s just a hobby. How can there be so much to do?

The wet clay and the newly thrown pots need to be kept wet, but the pots need to dry but not freeze. The wheel and tools need to be cleaned and put away. The kiln needs to be cleaned out and vacuumed before I fire another bisque load. Before another glaze firing, I’ll need to buy and apply kiln wash. For that matter, I need more clay and glazes. Pots that have been bisqued wait to be Read More

Fr. Glenn: Status Report

By Fr. Glenn Jones:
