Demarest...This Year/Last Year

This Year/ Last Year...
it seemed time for a change...
surgery last april, a long time until heavy lifting was to be done... I, of course, did not wait long enough... couldn't wait long enough...thus more waiting...
needed to make lighter pots and step away from the arduous work of the wood kiln...
I wanted to make something brighter, more colorful and playful with a much lower price point... wanted to have some sales...maybe shock or at least surprise people a bit, saying hey! I'm not just a one trick pony...how about this?
while at Demarest, I realized many of the potters there weren't born when I first attended the show,
well back in time now... they didn't know of the many changes of the past...
 there's a message here somewhere, but at present,
I just don't know what it is....

Switches...

an unexpected [by me] snow this morning
for the first time, I found myself glad to not be out stoking the wood kiln
it's been a long stretch of hard work, but today
I can enjoy the snow and change of weather...
 I'm chasing turquoise and I can stay inside by the fire,
be warm and occasionally go down and turn a few switches
on the 2 kilns now firing...
my body is thanking me for the rest and ease of this new method of working...
my mind wonders if they are "commercial enough"...
we'll see soon enough as I continue onward toward Demarest...
