Hibernation time

The big snow is finally here and the shortest day is tomorrow.  I've always loved the solstice because even though it feels like winter has really just settled in, we know the days are now, bit by bit, barely noticeably, getting longer and bringing back the light.

Winter Market


The art show is over and the studio open house is done, now I'm back at the indoor Farmers' Market.  We had a gazillion vendors and quite a good crowd today - the support from our community is great. Two more Saturdays and we're done for the year.  I must admit that I'll be glad for the down time.  

I'm looking forward to getting back in the studio to try new things, take a few risks, without any need to rush to get a firing done.  Next firing won't be until spring.  So, time to carefully consider, be more discerning in what is allowed to get past the dry stage and actually make it to the kiln.  But first, 2 more markets!
