Last week, we were hit by what weather people are fondly referring to as the “Western Wallop” - a week long series of snow storms that dropped over 50 inches of snow! I cleared a couple feet of snow off the roof of the kiln house - twice!

The snow gave me some time to work in the studio. I’m getting the feel for the wheel again… it’s like riding a bike (thankfully). I started out with mugs because I wanted to break my body back in gently. No sense in tweaking my back when I’m just getting back into it.

I also did a few slab soap dishes - see the new fish stamps? I got the stamps at NCECA last spring, but this is the first time I’ve used them. I’m going to be doing a lot of fish-themed work in upcoming months.

So many ideas spinnin’ in my head…
