Teapot 52 and 2013 Schedule

Schedule for this year is set. Two less shows this year due to planned travel to Japan in August.  Mailing has been sent, and now putting prices and packing.  I am debating to update the show canopy with better one.  It costs around $1500.  It is more stable against the winds, and has more roomy feel to it as mine is low ceiling.  I am starting to concern about the winds last couple years, it seems getting more strong wind events happening.  I will look for the other persons' canopies and will decide.

Here is one of a kind teapot #52.

Warm compost in use

It has been almost one year since I started the warm compost. I opened the bin and to remove the compost for the first time.  I was surprise to see all bedding (paper) was gone.  There were significantly more warms than last year.  I realized I might underfed them recently.  Anyway, these composts were spread to my new vegetable garden today.



 

 

 

 

The summer shows are around the corner, and I am busy firing the kiln as usual. I updated 2013 schedule.  I have one less show this year.
