It's a relief when you open the kiln to find that your pots have survived the first (biscuit) firing. It's always a temptation to try and speed things up a bit to dry them only to find out that they weren't quite dry enough and that they have blown up in the kiln.
So we have plenty of "new" things to glaze - lemon squeezers and their jugs, plant pots and saucers, garlic graters, soap dishes and a couple of orders for large jugs with mice on.
This afternoon we were visited by Gerry's god daughter, Danielle, who used to live opposite us in the Hall. She lives down in Guildford now, but always calls in to see us when she is in the area. Its nice to see her. She has two lovely girls who think being a potter must be the best job ever ----- and it is!!!!!
(except this year.....)
