Gary Jackson: Fire When Ready Pottery
A Chicago potter’s somewhat slanted view of clay & play
Categories: pottery, production

After a couple weekends of playing in the beautiful Fall colors…
and riding a few miles here & there… then spending time in the storage room…

I had a sudden bit of panic attack when I came to the realization that Summer
is definitely over, Fall is officially here and the holidays are right around the corner!
In fact, “My Home For The Holidays” Home Show is just five weeks away!

So, after an “enjoyable”  morning at the DMV – I went straight to the studio
to try and get back into full-on production mode! Of course, you have to clean the
place first. Then you need to do a little chatting. Maybe a little lunch.
And some more cleaning. Before you can actually get down to throwing pots!

After spending a lot of time in the storage room determining what inventory
to make… I was still a little overwhelmed by what needs to be done… especially
with just five weeks to get it all done. So what did I do?…

Mugs of course… or at least the starting cylinders for a new batch of mugs!
