The Venco Pugmill that I use, borrowed from my mentor , which was probably built in the early 80s is still running strong. Lots of pots to come for a summer wood firing…

For this summers wood firing I’ve been trying my hand at Slab building and I’m pretty happy with the work so far..

1st piece made for this late spring, early summer wood firing. I’m going to focus on larger ornamental pieces for this firing. This large oval bowl is slab built which is something I’m trying to do more of, hope you like it!

I probably haven’t shared this on social media, but I retired from my 25 year career in cabinet manufacturing on March 6th. I recently turned my office into a gallery so if you live near Jasper, Indiana, and would like to see my work, please stop by. You can find my link in my bio for both my address and my Etsy account.
