Still over an hour until we “officially” open for today… and there’s still setting up to do. But then again, I’m always ready to make a sale!!! Thank you Richard. We’re off to a good start.

It was a pretty clear morning. Except for that one big cloud flying low on the horizon. Threatening the chance for the sun to peek through. Luckily it did. And now that that one big cloud has moved on, it looks like a beautiful clear day to pack & set up for this weekend’s Hinsdale Fine Arts Festival.

I unloaded my cone 6 glaze kiln last night… just a couple, last-minute pieces that will be headed to the Hinsdale Fine Arts Festival this weekend. Here’s the top layer with lots of colorful promise…

Layer two didn’t look too bad either… a new batch of textured tiles!

Spent the night in the studio glazing one last kiln load.
Just under the wire.

More new work coming out of the kiln
just in time for this weekend in Hinsdale!!!

After yesterday’s “windy & sweaty” Century bike ride,
it felt great to get back out this morning to work the kinks out.

Not nearly as windy.
Not nearly as sweaty.
Not nearly as far.
