Here's the glazing pavilion, as seen from my studio window. Glazing in the warm morning sunshine is a welcome reminder of the joys of self-employment, math be damned.

About Me
- Lori Watts
- Lori Keenan Watts (aka me) is a potter, gardener, and avid reader from Augusta, Maine. Though I started my university education in surface design for fabric, clay quickly grabbed me by the heart and redirected my creative impulses. I have been a potter for over 25 years -- hard to believe. The most valuable years of my ceramic education were spent in graduate study at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville, under the tutalage of Dan Anderson and Paul Dresang. My aesthetic is guided by my love of the material itself. What fascinates me and makes a pot compelling for me is the clay-ness of clay: the squooshiness that becomes the adamantine solidity. I also like patterns, unexpected proportions, and when the flame comes along and dissolves part of my careful decorating efforts! I am obstinate about this aesthetic, to a point which might be called pig-headed, but hey, if you don't like what you make, why bother? My happy little family also includes my husband, musician and photographer (and author of the book Alewife) Doug Watts; five cats; and a turtle, all foundlings and rescues of one stripe or another.

Love it - I start glazing on Thursday for a weekend firing. Hope the sunny weather holds out.
you have to love working for yourself :) not many people get to glaze in the sunshine!
I too am glazing at the moment (in Australia) and have a clear day like yours. Thx for your blog, I enjoy following it
I'm somewhere between being inspired and jealous. :)
I hope you get a bunch more sunny (and warm enough) mornings out of the fall.
