Here are some killer pots from Dr. Steve Harrison in the Land of OZ. He is a real Renaissance man who digs his own clay, mills his materials and lives off the land. I started correspondence with Steve some 30 years ago when I was having trouble with a large two chambered wood kiln I had built. I heard of this pamplet he wrote called "Laid Back Wood Firing" and I wrote and offered my first born child to have a copy. Six months later I got a copy of the pamplet and a no thank you for my child. Those were the days before the internet and an answer took months and sometimes years. Today I can write Steve in the evening and wake up to an answer. I love his description of himself-

Check out his killer pots. Glad to have Dan Finnegan coming to Pinecroft. Dan has no electricity, no water in his studio and fires a wood kiln. The strange part of this puzzle is he built up a phenomenal complex called Liberty Town that looks like the perfect modern day shopping experience. We are going to have some looooooong talks at his workshop.
