We have unloaded our second Moka glaze kiln this year for this weekend's Celebration of Seagrove Potters - Nov 22-24, 2013. We will have one more kiln firing in time for our Holiday Kiln Opening on December 14, 2013. There will be a few more Seagrove Potteries having kiln openings on that day.. Ben Owen Pottery, Michele Hastings and Jeff Brown Pottery, Dean and Martin Pottery, Donna Craven Pottery, From the Ground Up Pottery, and Johnston and Gentithes Pottery. If I find out about anymore potteries we will let you know.
We enjoy making pots.
Lots of ideas whirling around in our minds.
We have mugs, bowls, cups, covered jars, and plates.

We have a new puppy.
Her name is Luna Bella. She is 4 months old today.
Both Bruce and Samantha made collaborations this for the Celebration of Seagrove Potters. Samantha decorated a large vase thrown by Ben Owen III and Bruce glazed a covered jar thrown by Fred Johnston. These pieces will be auctioned off tonight at the evening Gala. Tickets can be purchased using eventbrite. Visit the
Seagrove Potters website for more information about the Celebration and the Seagrove Potters.
The pots travel back in forth between both potteries... from making to decoratiing to signing to glazing to firing.

After Ben turned the large vase, he drove the vase over to us when it was still to wet to pick-up and sign. The decorating that Samantha planned to do needs to be done at a specific time and Ben wanted to make sure that it was at Bulldog Pottery wet enough to put the dot pattern onto. We drove the vase back to his pottery so he could sign the vase. A lot of effort and time goes into the collaborations. These pieces are made by many Seagrove Potters for tonight's evening Gala. The Gala is the kick-off for the Celebration of Seagrove Potters weekend.

Samantha is holding the vase after it came out of the firing yesterday. We could hold a contest to guess the number of dots on the piece, but then we would have to count them. This is by far, the largest piece that Samantha has ever dotted.

Bruce is holding Fred Johnston's thrown covered jar. Bruce glazed this piece with one of our celedon glazes and fired it in the gas kiln.

We set up most of our booth for the Celebration of Seagrove Potters last night. We are still working on polishing, pricing, and packing our Moka glaze pottery for this weekend's Seagrove Potters show.
