Day One of the 2025 Maine Pottery Tour was down about half from last year. We had a few good hours in the morning, but spotty rain all afternoon, topped off by a downpour just at 5 pm when we were putting up the tent walls. I had a bit of a crowd for the kiln opening, although most were my students, who had work in that kiln, and people they brought with them. It was a lot of fun! And I was lucky to have the help of Liz Downs manning the sales table, because I could not have done both. The firing was very good, which was a great relief to me after its rocky start. Oh & the unnecessary $200 baso valve arrived in the mail yesterday...at least I will have one on hand if it should act up again.
Day Two awaits! Rain is continuing, so I don't have high hopes, but maybe I will make a couple hundred dollars more. If not, well, I still have the ware, and stores awaiting.
If clay life has taught me anything, it's that you can't control everything, and the weather is at the top of a very long list. You learn to roll with whatever happens.
