Unloaded the bisque today. One bowl exploded, and one cracked, but there are back-up candidates for each, so that’s okay. Glazed everything, loaded up the kiln again and turned it on.
The kiln has a broken element, so it’s firing reeeeally slow. Normally this would be annoying, but right now it means I can show up at the studio considerably later than 6 am to turn it off. Sweeeet.

My name is Maaike Charron, and I'm a potter in St. John's, Newfoundland. I started fiddling around with pottery in summer 2006, when I was told volunteering in the local clay studio would get me free studio time. I mostly taught myself, spending a lot of time poring over books, magazines and websites, and occasionally pestering the more advanced (but very helpful) potters around me with questions. After about two years, I decided I'd gotten good enough to go into business for myself. This blog, started after my first big craft fair, was created to document the process of becoming a wondrously succesful craftsperson. (Or it will document How Not To Do It. We'll see.)
