Great kiln opening today!!!

What a busy day today....We had a great kiln opening....We just opened the kiln and they had hardly cooled off before we had some people drop by to buy...it was wonderful..lots of bear soap dishes for Three bears Gift Shop in Invermere that we will take up tomorrow.We hope they will love them.I am still working on taking better photos...yikees it is a struggle when you have no natural light...I wasn't able to post a lot of the things that came out of the kiln today but I hope you enjoy the ones that I did capture.
Thanks for stopping by.

I grew up in Saskatchewan, yet when I was young the wind caught hold of me and over time I found myself "moved to live near" each of the three oceans surrounding Canada. Saskatchewan will always be a part of me, because that is where my childhood began. As a child, I played with clay, dug deep from the garden. Now, from time-to-time I use various other mediums, but I always return to playing with clay.I love imaging about the pieces in my mind. Building the pieces seems to be far less challenging for me, than glazing them! Yet, when a piece goes through the creating, building and glazing process and comes out meeting my expectations, then I feel I have won.

Having grown up and worked in the Kootenays all my life, I found myself semi-retired last year and needing something fun and interesting to do. I have always wanted to try pottery, so our good friend Karen took on the challenge to teach my sister and myself. My husband, Richard, was kind enough to give up his workshop to build us a studio and he continually makes improvements for us. We have been having the best time ever since. Caroline and Karen hold down the fort while the Baja frog enjoys the winter in Mexico and Arizona, but she returns to work in the spring. Looking forward to new creations. Have a great day!
