I passed the halfway point! Cup #201, The Last Continent, by Terry Pratchett, was thrown last week.
And my shelves are PACKED. And I need to throw more. But there is no room for new things… I need to glaze the existing ones. Mix up new buckets, choose colours. Time has made me buy THREE whole glazes. Gasp. I never thought I’d do that… self-mixed glazes are so cheap. But the commercial ones require a lot less testing, and I have very little time for testing now.
I can rush through the last half, or I can slow down, adjust my schedule, and possibly do a better job. The show, after all, is not until October.

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.)
