Up and Running

Tel Hai graduates Netzer and Shelley in their brand new studio in Poriya Illit outside Tiveria. Well worth a visit- their work has always been of a high standard,and they already have lots of well-made,interesting and resonably-priced pots in their showroom. Shelley,who taught last year in Tel Hai,gives pottery courses,if you're interested. Netzer refitted an old Laser gas kiln with brick and an arch - it seems to work better than my attempt at kiln restoration!
My new kiln,by the way,is in Haifa,patiently awaiting the outcome of bureaucratic wrangling,which suits me fine since I have a lot of other things to see to,apart from every other day being a Holiday,which will continue 'til late October. I did fire a bisc the other day with some sinks,and now have to glaze and fire them together with a bunch of Meir's pots from the last anagama that he wants refired.
Happy New Year,and a [spiritually] productive Yom Kippur.
