Love is hard!
I had decided I was going to fall in love with my gas kiln and lay low on the wood kiln. Wood firing is hard. Love is hard. I wanted to live life easier and learn to enjoy my gas kiln and stop this hard luvin'! Put a few pots in Stoner's train kiln last weekend and hot damn they melt my heart and get the ole goat all excited about tossing sticks again.
I wanted to leave this demanding woman. I wanted someone easy and more laid back. Truth is she is the best.
I've coached a bunch of younger pyromaniacs that I am sure will fire the kiln when I am too old to stoke. I will sit in a LazyBoy with a bourbon in hand, point and grunt.
Here are some pots from Stoner's train kiln. Trains rule!!! You get the surface without the environmental impact of 4 or 5 days firing. Thanks Stoner for picking me up at the side of the road and thanks Mr.K for these photos. I will get to see the pots in the flesh at Ash and Barrel this weekend.
I'm stoked to see my buds, the pots, drink a Fairweather Brewski and be with y'all.
Best, T
Fallen Lover.

Don't potters need these kind of labour saving devices?
Nice pots, but what are they?
although I highly recommend exploiting students for free labour, just call it an internship,
they'll do anything to be trained.
If you want any helpful hints on how to train, just get a book on training dogs and puppies from a pet store.
