The trip to Penn Mo

I love taking the short drive to Penn Mo Firebrick in Harrisburg. It's a pretty drive along Rt 322 and now that the construction is done it's a pleasant drive as well. Since the road goes along the Susquehanna River there's a lot of pleasant river views. This time the river was a little frightening. We pulled into a river access point and took these pictures.

It's also interesting to see the little Statue of Liberty, I didn't take that picture, I googled it :)

Lazy Day II

Yep, went back to work after dinner, Ro joined me and while I didn't get started on the new mugs, I did get the soup mugs finished and a board full of little sugar/honey jars and Ro got a board full of wee bowls done. Then we were summoned by the brownies she made earlier..they said to bring milk, so we did. YUM.

Lazy Day

No, just kidding! We don't have those. Morgan and I headed out to local clay artist Monika Modest's house this morning to pick up a load of clay she is donating to The Creative Oasis. She's packing up and heading to California so we get all her leftover clay samples. It was a pretty big load, around 1000 lbs, so that should help keep the students happy this semester.

After taking care of that we came home and Ro and I went to work in our studio glazing and loading another kiln. About the time we were finishing with that, the kiln that gave us so much trouble finished firing off without any problems. YAY!

I'm taking a facebook break and waiting for pizza cook Morgan to tell us dinner is ready. It''s really nice having a pizza cook in the house, we're getting the good stuff these days! After dinner I plan on heading back downstairs and trimming and handling a few soup mugs I threw yesterday, then start throwing again, some sugar and honey jars and then some travel mugs. No rest yet, there are pots to make!
