Preparing for Fire: Fall 2014

It's been a while since I updated the blog, but it had been a while since I made any pots. This summer, my employer CFA Institute sent me as part of their International Rotation program to our Hong Kong office for a few months. Though I had an excellent trip, living and working in Hong Kong, and even managed to see a lot of great pots, both in Hong Kong and during a 10 day adventure in Japan, I wasn't able to make pots for most of the time since the firing last May. Once I returned in August and got settled back in, I had to hustle to get pots ready for the early October deadline to get everything prepared for Tye River this November. 

My time in Asia has definitely changed the way I see pots. Pottery is so much a part of the culture there, so revered and respected; it's enough to make a guy envious. I see my own pots differently and have new forms I want to play with, or new takes on some of my standard forms. I've got a few experiments made up for the firing at Kevin's in November, and I'm excited to see how they turn out. It's a new adventure!
