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

I think that the small flower pots I threw yesterday are going to be the perfect little pot
for window herb gardens! For some reason, they look a little larger than life in the photo?!
So the pots I threw yesterday before my bike ride are now all stamped, slipped, trimmed
and sitting on my rolling cart ready to dry.

Which was all part of my master plan… and time crunch.
I knew I had to make something that I could finish fairly quickly so that I could
get everything onto my rolling cart – and out of the way!

My friend & fellow potter Amy Higgason is coming in tomorrow to set up her work
for her Trunk Show in my studio. It was questionable for awhile whether she was
even going to make it to Chicago?! She was snowed in with over 3-feet of snow and
couldn’t even get out of her driveway. But she shoveled and drove south!!!
Can’t wait to see her and her new pots fresh from her kiln!!!
