4 months of making thousands of dollars worth of pots, and all of it subjected to the whims of the 24 hour fire. Wood firing isn't for sissies! Best of luck to all the others who might be firing this week-end (Michael included) it's supposed to be a hot one...the weather AND the kiln.
The photo is a piece of a mural painted by my friend Bill Harris on my former shop on Hanover Street. It is a bit faded and peeling which just seems to add to it's cool factor. Perhaps a wee prize might be found in this firing for the first to identify all the potters?!

How many pots are going to be fired?
Can't wait the see the results, I'll be sending some 'good-firing-energy' your way, Good luck!!
I have identified 3 potters, the obvious ones.... hehe.
Have to study to find out who the others are to have a chance on that price. :-)

I've got 4 now!
I'm embarrassed to say I never even noticed that the mural IS of potters! Oh well. Im off to enjoy my fiber side at MD Sheep and Wool. Good luck with the firing, here's to number 8! Enjoy the cookies. :)
What an amazing mural - I think I have them all
oh now- now we have to think when we are here!?
I have a no thinking allowed until I finish reading the blogs.
I'll have to come back but I see Hamada right off- Cardew and Leach.
Tis a great mural!
Have a great firing Dan. It's been fun keeping up with many of the pots you have been making, now soon to see them finished. I see Leach, Hamada, Cardew, Button, Finch, and Dan Finnegan. Very cool mural!
Ray Finch, Michael Cardew, Isaac Button, D. Finnegan, S.Hamada, B.Leach. Of course.
Good to see the mural's still on the building,and I agree that the peeling paint adds to it.
yes.. great mural.. aged to perfection! It would be interesting to see a picture of it when it was new. Oh, Good Fires!!
A wave of sweet nostalgia comes over me whenever I see that mural; I can remember stopping by your shop for YEARS for those special gifts for friends and family and your always stopping what you were doing to help pick the perfect piece. This mural was the best one that Bill has done; no other compares, in my opinion. Thanks for the memories this morning.
