The first Firing

Gary has rekindled a favorite hobby, pottery. He is quite good at throwing large things. Soon after the baby was born, Gary found the "deal of a lifetime". I was a little hesitant, well... a lot hesitant, but I have turned into the supportive wife. My mom says it is less expensive than having a pet...

Today was the first firing, we were both excited and apprehensive, since we don't really know what we're doing, but Gary read the manual several times and the firing went just as planned, and in two days (when the kiln cools) we'll have more pictures....

The med school art show (where Gary plans to make profits to support his hobby) is next month we'll see how it goes.



The end of the day...and molten hot.
Our new studio...aka garage

The beautiful wheel...

but i've noticed a few of gary's pieces in your home before, and really liked them. i'm sure he'll make some beautiful things!
