This felt like a productive day. Last night I made the 4 dessert plates I’d promised for the Oven and Kiln Fundraiser next week and today I got them painted with stencilled slip designs. Photos after the glaze firing.. Then I put some handles on 4 jug birds so there’s a hope that I can get them and 3 more painted and fired for ArtWalk.

To get a breath of fresh Spring air I tackled a job I want to do – inserting bricks beside another flower bed. I do like bricks! Soon I’ll need to scrounge some more old ones.

Today’s photos were taken at Walter Keeler’s lecture at the Museum of Anthropology last Saturday. They’re from his slide show so are somewhat fuzzy, crooked and odd colours – but show some more of his unusual pots. Thank you Debra and Terry Sloan-Yip for inviting us back to your pot-filled home for a snack afterwards and a chance to chat with Walter, his wife Madeleine and lots of other familiar pottery friends.
