I’ve been so busy in my shop/studio the last few months, trying to be ready for the tourist season. It is starting to pick up a bit now, but days are still unpredictable, sometimes lots of cars, sometimes only a few. I like this time of the season because there are people around but it’s…
Hello, MY WEBSITE IS MODERN!!!! I finally did it!! The old, rickety, archaic looking monstrosity that used to be wildfirepottery.ca has been replaced by something that at least resembles a website made this century. The rave reviews are pouring in (well at least one) “Your website is very sophisticated but witha touch of whimsy so…
I thought I’d do a quick posting about how these Moose Bowls are made. I roll out a large slab of clay and cut out some circles. I use something called a “needle tool”, which looks something like a pen with a large, you guessed it, NEEDLE, attached to the end of it. Hey diabetic…

I think I’ve settled into this blogging rhythm. One post every 3 months, that’s good right?! It has been a busy time for me, I haven’t had much time to pause for about 7 months! I rolled right out of a bustling summer into the Cabot Trail Writers Festival, where I sold my used books…
