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

It was a beautiful drive up north to Minneapolis today. The sky was clear and it was surprisingly warm… nearly 90-degrees?!!! What? It hasn’t been this warm forever!!! As I continued north, the clouds started getting thicker and more dramatic. Beautiful.

I got a text message from Sarah telling me to be careful driving in the thunderstorm. Of course I said “What thunderstorm?” And then about 30 minutes later, and a few miles further north, I found out. As the beautiful cloud cover was replaced by a huge deluge… serious wiperblade action. As much as I wanted to take some pictures, I thought it better to keep my hands safely on the wheel.

Are you going to give us a report on the St. Croix Valley Pottery tour? I have really enjoyed your past photos and descriptions of your pottery purchases!

Of course I will. I’ve just been a little swamped getting ready for this weekend’s upcoming soda kiln. The Pottery Tour was great as always… and I’ll keep back-filling posts when I have time. And quite possibly even a “game” for people to play. Coming soon… I promise… and thanks for asking!
