I wanted to load some images up from last night. I need to go eat my oatmeal and back to the Luck's Cannery to set up for this morning. Last night was a lot of fun and we all enjoyed ourselves. I will fill in who is in the pictures another day.

The North Carolina Pottery Center has a display table at the entrance with historic NC Pottery books and other NCPC information including membership.
Last night Ed and I went back to the Luck's Cannery to set out our pottery. We hit the wall around 8:45 and thought that we would continue in the morning. We met Will McCanless (McCanless Pottery) and Meredith Smildson leaving about the same time as we were. It is all up from here!
Dan Triece of Dirtworks Pottery came on over to see what was going on and expressed a how do you do to all of you.
Here is Randy and Sherry James of Dixieland Pottery. You may remember them from a previous post that we did back in August about the Luck's Legacy Kiln Opening. They were just about set up and putting a few finishing touches on their booth.
Michelle Kovack of Kovack Pottery is set up beside them.
Sheila Ray (Paul's wife) is hanging out talking with David and Alexa Fernandez of Seagrove Stoneware.
Blaine Avery of Avery Pottery and Tileworks is getting set up and ready to display his pottery.
Here is the pair of 16" vases that came out of Ben Owen's kiln yesterday. Donna Craven threw these bottles and Samantha glazed them.
And some more..... It is a wonderful day here. We are all busily getting pots finished and kilns fired. Bruce is working on putting handles on our Carolina Designer Craftsmen "Masterpiece" . Below Ed is working on sieving the slip that will be applied to the handled urns that Bruce has been working on. I am figuring out what decoration will be applied to his forms and then back to him for some more imagery. This is something new for us and we are excited to see the outcome.
And some...... Gloria is helping to clean the functional pots which we will put our Moka glaze. These pieces will be ready for the Carolina Designer Craftsmen show in Raleigh on Thanksgiving weekend.
Ed is making mulch out of the leaves that have fallen from the trees and Gloria is cleaning away.
I am getting tired about now and start looking around. I looked up and noticed the dinosaur gourds I grew back in 2002. Wow, have they been drying up there for that long?? Yes. We have to admit that they have been up there for the past how many years?
We found a kiln to put our collaborative vase pair into (Donna's thrown vases and Dotty Sam's glaze combo). Ben Owens is loading a reduction kiln today and said he had room along with his 20" vases. YEAH!!! What a relief. Bruce loaded them in the car and drove them right on over to Ben's place.
