Visit to Sany Mush

After finally getting the internet in my new house I'll give this another go around. I've been working on an article on my former boss, Matt Jones, for this little literary journal that my Mom publishes with some friends of hers. On one of my trips to Asheville I stopped by the pottery to hang out, see what Matt and Alex have been making, and snap a few pictures for the article. Here is some eye candy from the fall firing.




This is the new wood heater that Matt made this fall. It fires with just a handful of sticks and then stays toasty warm most if not all of the day. Very impressive.



The jug in the middle is now in my possesion.

Good to see you back in the Land of Blog. Looking forward to reading the article. I'm serious, I think you could be a writer if the pottery thing gets boring for you(imagine that!) Tell everyone at Mark's I said hello!
