UP Woodfired Kiln 2012 5th Load
(Mar 25, 2012)
I decided to do one more load before May to use up the remaining kiln fuel and see if I can adjust the setting to get the tail hotter.

Used Electric Kilns
(Mar 29, 2012)
An elderly lady near here has decided to stop giving pottery and ceramics lessons in her home and is getting rid of the equipment so I asked what she wanted for one of the Paragon Set 'n Fire kilns she said wasn't working real well and she said 50 bucks so I got one. I haven't considered electric yet but the chamber looks good enough to repair the electronics or convert it to gas or even wood if I find the location. If I can figure out how to move both I think I'll see what the other one is worth to her too. It looks like I'll need a pickup truck or a low riding trailer to haul them down below 'da Bridge to South East Michigan.

Bal's Hill
(Mar 3, 2012)
There is a dairy farm family up here named Bal and they acreage the locals call Bal's Hill where they pasture heifers and plant feed. A particularly lonesome birdhouse along the fence line caught my eye so I thought I'd see if I could milk it for a few decent shots. One shot won an award in a local calendar contest. Enlargements suitable for framing are available at reasonable prices. Thanks for taking a look and even more for ordering a print.

U.P. Woodfired Kiln 2011 Load # 4
(Sep 26, 2011)
About the only change I've made in the kiln is to lag in more stack bricks so it is now 16.5'. I decided to give'er one more try and make another load with mostly re-fires and a few new pieces made with a cone 12 porcelain and cone 10 stoneware I bought from Continental Clay. More of loading live can be found in my YouTube site.

Full Resolution For Prints
(Mar 1, 2011)
This is a new album with some of my favorite shots in full resolution from when I started using the 6MP Pentax Optio 60, then the 7.1MP Pentax W30, and the 12.1MP W80 I'm offering for sale through Fotki. This will make the ordering process easier than having a lower resolution image and being notified to upload the original which would only delay you receiving your pictures. I hope there is something here suitable for your home, office, or any place that looks like it could use a a neat photograph. Thanks for viewing and more thanks for making an order eh.

New Pots 2012
(Feb 29, 2012)
The kiln got fired during a warm spell in early February and I'm putting the results in my store at

http://www.etsy.com/shop/NavarrePottery

NOTE: Each pot has 5 shots and I sorted the photo files by EXIF date taken so a couple foot shots might not meet up with their pot however they match on the Etsy site.
