Finally...

Rarely have I looked forward to Shabbat and a good rest quite so much- it's been an exhausting week,with two glaze kilns and three days at Tel Hai. Today I finished unloading #2,which came out O.K. in the end,and glazed and loaded #3 ready [with 2 full gas tanks] for firing Sunday. The shelves of unfired ware are starting to thin out as pots get fired- it looks like there are enough pieces for two more kilns,three at a pinch,and then a respectable quantity for the crystal kiln,new elements for which are,I trust,winging their way to me from the nice Evenheat people in Michigan.
Shabbat Shalom,and a Big Up to all the wonderful Tel Hai students who put on such a great show.
