Winter is Coming

Well, we can't really ignore it anymore - winter is coming. It's come to the time of year where the woodstove in the studio gets dusted off and tidied up, filled with wood and lit on fire. It's a cozy place to be on a cold and rainy day like today.

It's also been a really busy place! October is one of those months that doesn't have a TON of stuff going on in itself, but there is an incredible amount of winter prep happening. Wood being stacked for winter, making sure the furnace still works, and in my case the preparation for the holiday season could not be busier.

Woodfired plates, minimalist black and white.

I just unloaded another woodkiln this past weekend, with lots of fresh new work and lots of my favourite styles still at play. I like to always have something new in each firing, so this time it was stamping, and plates, and vases. And of course there were a ton of mugs. Lots and lots of mugs. And just in time for the start of the holiday sales! The first one is this weekend in Puslinch/Aberfoyle, at the Aberfoyle Potters Market. I'm looking forward to visiting with some of my pottery friends, and getting back into the swing of the show season. Hope to see some of you there!
