We had a *visitor* in our yard on the 2nd
Mel noticed a HUGE odd looking bird
in the crab apple tree in our back yard.

It is a Pileated WoodPecker.

I am still working on pottery. I thought I would share a few pictures
of the pottery club and some works in progress.
of the pottery club and some works in progress.
This is the electric wheel I use.
There are kick wheels too
I want to try those out sometime.
Foreground is the work table by the potters wheel. Just beyond that is one of the kick wheels, not in service at the moment. The *machine* with orange on it is the slab roller. Rolls out clay evenly to what ever thickness you want. Slabs of clay are used for *built* items and drape molds, mostly.
These are the shelves with items waiting to be bisqued or are already bisqued waiting for glaze.
This is a work in progress. I want to glaze the carving different from the whole piece
This is the glazing table. Its full of pieces from the childrens
Pottery class that Andrea had been offering.
Underneath you can see pails of glazes.
Its a small space so its utilized to the fullest.
Not always the neatest but to the fullest!
These are the kilns. Two are in operation.
One is waiting to get repaired.
You can see pails of glaze in this picture too.
The holidays are over..
Down Come the lights!
Mel and Pierce found an interesting but efficient way
to remove the Christmas lights from the house.
Saves going up and down the ladders!! LoL
Pierce seems to be enjoying it too!
Thats it for this post from by the hills!
