And then came the rain...

So this year they are calling "2nd Sunday" the "Art Bash".  So June till October, on the second sunday of the month, in the courtyard of the main library there will be the Art Bash. it will be for a much shorter period of time than last year, and they are suggesting "art demos".  Last year the community studio was told they could participate for free, and we quickly found it was not really good for sales. But we hoped to attract folks for classes and similar. Clearly, not a place for me personally to sell pots. But given the shorter period of time and all that, why not do demos. 

So we agreed we could do throwing demos.





I did two more pots, did not get pictures. They are little vase type forms. Not my usual at all. In fact they are for Raku. While I like firing Raku, but really don't do it on my own pots as I make functional work... but...

So for 1st Fridays, folks can buy a pot they select and glaze it themselves, and then we fire it for them. This is the Raku firings I have been doing at 1st fridays.  The pots are $15 a pot, and who ever made the pot gets some of the money. So why not knock out some little pots for Raku purposes.

Then the wind picked up... and then it got crazy windy.. tornado warning... then the rain... then the hail.

We packed up, left but soaked.  We were there for about an hour was all.  The pots.. they survived... go figure.
