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

Sadly, not everyone “survived” the overnight rains Saturday night at the art fair. It’s always tough when you hear thunderstorms overnight knowing that your tent is out there in the downpour. Fingers crossed… hoping for the best. Luckily, my tent was fine… but there were a handful that didn’t fare so well. Like this one across from me. I will say the roof seemed a little “jenky” even before the rain. But Sunday morning we arrived to see a flooded & sagging roof. And then she decided the only way to drain it was to punch a hole through the canopy?! Odd choice… but I loved the water spiral. Unfortunately, it turned out that the frame of her tent was broken too! Just another “glamorous side” of doing outdoor art fairs that a lot of people are unaware of what the artists have to deal with!!!
