Street Pottery

I took my pottery wheel outside on Grand Avenue in Saint Paul a few days ago (one of the busiest streets in the Twin Cities), setup a few tables displaying my work, and had at it. It was wonderful: a warm sunny sunset striking the wheel, a few motorists turning their heads in curiosity, and a few passersby that stopped to talk about how cool it is to see pottery made, plus I sold a few pieces. All-in-all, a great night. Plus, I made several pieces on the wheel that were 'keepers.' I'm heading back into my stoneware clay supply for a bit, as I'd like to try out some new cobalt recipes. One more load of redware clay to fire though, so stay tuned for pictures of that!


Sorry, no pictures of me in these photos, next time!
