Coterie, the shop where I am a partner, will be closing for good on May 10, Mother's Day.  But we certainly aren't done yet!  Look for us in a new incarnation at the end of June/beginning of July.  More to come soon...

I fired over Valentine's Day weekend.  It was -3 degrees with 50 mph gusts that night-- a clear sign of how much I love to do this!  And a clear sign of how kind my friends are who came to help me-- thank you!  All work is gas-fired with salt and wood, cone 10 reduction.  Pretty work to launch into the Spring wood-firing season with...
