Gardeningbren said...: I like eleven. Can't wait to see the results.

When I foggily remember ceramics..there were two brothers who salt glazed and the interior of their home was crusted with salt glaze at their death..maybe an urban myth? Look forward to seeing your salt glazed pots.; 21 May 2012 at 01:51
Cro Magnon said...: Very exciting. A bit like playing golf; before you hit the ball (before firing-up the kiln) you know exactly where you're going. But when you've actually hit the ball (fired the kiln) it's in the hands of the gods.; 21 May 2012 at 05:44
