Last pile o’ stuff before Folk Fest is bisqued, and being glazed and fired over the next week. Almost there.
And my brain is doing its thing again. The “production is HARD, go have other ideas!” thing. Always, inconveniently enough, when I need to focus on producing things for a big loomy deadline. Right now I’m dreaming of wood firings. Reduction copper reds, and chuns, and flashes of orange and reactive slips andandand… All sort of a moot point at the moment, as there are no wood kilns in the province that I know of. And from what little I know, the freeze-thaw cycles here would be sort of nasty to any that might be built. But the ideas just keep coming. And maybe one day I can put them to practice.

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.)
