Potter's Pen
I've decided to transition my pottery posts from Instagram and Facebook to Bluesky. It will take a bit of time to become comfortable with that new platform so bear with me....
I'm currently preparing for an upcoming wood firing in Ligonier, Pennsylvania. The pots have been made glazed and wadded. Also, the bowls I'll be donating to the local Empty Bowls event have been made, bisque fired and glazed. I've tried some new glaze combinations on those bowls.
The "selling season" has wrapped up for me and I have decided which sales venues to pursue in 2025. I will do the Mother of All Pottery Sales in addition to a couple of local farmers markets - Mt. Lebanon Lions Farmers Market and Bethel Park Farmers Market. I will also participate in the autumn Pittsburgh Potters Tour...
I'll be making a donation of pots to the non-profit Achieva "Pittsburgh Promenade" fund raiser to be held on 22 March. Proceeds from the event will support people and families with disabilities...
Another donation of pottery and pottery lessons will be made to the Unitarian Universalist Church of the South Hills (Sunnyhill) right here in Mt. Lebanon for their annual silent auction fund raiser...

The 13th (and final) Firing of the "Buidheachas" Wood Kiln
The 13th firing of my "Buidheachas" wood kiln occurred on 29-30 September of 2023. The firing was done in two segments; a slow and easy pre-heat session on the 29th to dry out the kiln and lay bed of ash on the pots followed by an all-day session on the 30th. Here are a few images...
Sales
I'll be selling my pottery at the Mother of All Pottery Sales (Union Project) in May. I'll also be part of the Pittsburgh Potters Tour in November. Check back later for more information on my Bethel Park and Mt. Lebanon Lions Farmers Market selling venues.
