March

As per usual things are moving along at breakneck speed here in Pittsboro. In addition to trying to fill the salt kiln in half the usual time we've also been preparing for the Catawba Valley Pottery Festival where Mark will be selling his work for the first time alongside many of the Southeast's best potters and antique dealers. This will be my fourth year going to the festival, the last two years I was accompaning Matt Jones and the year before that Charlie Tefft, who makes pots in Greensboro NC and teaches as Guilford College.

Here are a couple pictures from the past few weeks. Above is the second run of what I've been calling Turkish tea cups. I was pleased with the first set and thought I would make a few for the salt kiln. There is another full board, about 50, these were just the last few that I made before the end of the day.
