CPS OPEN DAY 14th June 2009
Although I didn’t see everything that was going on at the Open Day on June 14 – being totally involved with the raku firing for just about the whole day – I did see enough to be able to say with some certainty that the event was a great success. And how lucky were we with the weather! And no blocked toilets either!
Congratulations to all involved and a big ‘thank you’ to Caroline Reid for organising and coordinating it. The soup was great! Thank you Cathy and helpers. Thanks too to Max Campbell of Clayworks and David Walker of Walker Ceramics, who came from Melbourne for the day, and Ian Theyer of Potters’ Needs, who came from the icy wastes of Oberon, and fixed our little kiln while he was here. Everyone enjoyed the Iron Potter as always. Thanks to Alex de Vos for that.
I know the raku firing was a success because Jen Collier, Peter Mobey and I kept our three Stefan Jakob Ikea kilns going from just after 10 am until 4.00 pm. Thanks to Jen, who made all the pots for firing. From a personal point of view, it was especially good for me, as I had not fired my kiln since I made it over a year ago.
