Enjoying the Summer

A cactus in our courtyard has burst into exuberant flower.Glaze kiln #5 is approaching cone 7; I've spent the morning tidying up my glaze-bespattered studio,pricing pots from the 4 previous kilns [and selling some,which is the whole point] and getting ready for a brief bout of transfers and lustres [applied to white clear-glazed porcelain mugs] to round out the session.
