Cleaning my studio and revisting projects. This is from about 30 years ago, my next neighbor helped make it, he was a retired mill wright from the sugar beet factory in Nampa. He was also one of the only people that mastered French repousse'. PBS was doing a documentary on him but I guess it never got finished. He had forges and metal working tools by the hundreds, most he made, a real Yankee mechanic too.

I have officially retired. I am not longer at the Capital City Public Market. I have been wrestling with this for a year or more, hard decision since the market has been my life for the last 24 years.
I will be putting things online, it's the intensity of getting ready every week, the set and take down that have become too much. It's not fun or exciting anymore, just exhausting.
The market has been great to me over the years and put me in a position where I can do this thankfully. If you want to get any of my work message me and set a time to come by. I will be setting up a small display area at my house.

New item in my online store.

Make threads on your pots to attach lotion pumps, oil pourers, soap pumps. These are made with 13% shrinkage calculated in the size, I personally use them on cone 10 B mix. If I make 10 bottles by the time I get the last one done the first one is usually firm enough to remove the collar and use aga

No more Custer feldspar, bought the last 50 # at The Potters Center. Will have to run glaze tests on all my glazes that use it with a new feldspar after what I have is gone. The mine shut down.
