the weather and visited the booth (see pic. above).
Austin plans to do the Bethesda Row show annually, so mark your
calendar for next year!
The show is scheduled for Saturday & Sunday, October 16th and

Click here for kiln construction
details. The recently completed kiln (shown above) is a
27 cubic foot down-draft (propane powered) salt kiln. The kiln is
designed to fire to cone 10

thus far.
Austin recently finished building a salt/soda kiln

First, a week at the spa! The Grove Park Inn and Spa,
located in Asheville, NC. The Grove Park Inn is a classic grand resort, built

Grove Park Inn to anyone that REALLY needs to get away
and wants to enjoy a five star spa experience.

Austin's pictures (series #2)
"I am thrilled with my initial results and
am looking forward
to getting everything out of the kiln (reduction, soda and salt), stay tuned
for pictures! I plan to fire work in soda, salt, wood and
high-fire reduction kilns at Penland. The facilities at the school are
fantastic, everything is at my finger-tips! I generally arrive in the
studio around 10:00 a.m. and work until 2 a.m., studios at Penland are
open 24/7. Everyone is incredibly friendly and generous with
recommendations and helpful tips; this is what heaven must be like (well, at
least for potters)!"
