I’m still fighting with the internets and my webstore version 2.0.
New Pots Online!
Wish I Knew
I’m going to add this to the list of things I wish I knew:
I wish I knew that I would be receiving an email with Webstore 2.01 today.
I have spent the greater part of yesterday and today uploading files, editing css and trying to figure out how it all works. Now, I get to ftp new files up to the server and figure out how to do all of that all over again. I guess this has just been a little practice run.
Perhaps, along with my future apprentice I should hire an IT guy.

Behind the Scenes
I’m still trying to finish up photographing the new pots. It’s taking a little longer than I expected because I’m also trying to update my site. I’m really close to getting the Webstore 2.0 up and running but if I can’ get it done tonight I have a tech support call scheduled at 1pm tomorrow to get it all figured out.
In the meantime I’m busy entering all of the new pots into the system so that when the store is a go, it should be a quick upload of all the new work. I think I mentioned earlier that the new Webstore is going to have customer registration as well as wishlists. It’s got a lot of other great features that I’m excited to see put into action.
As I struggle with the store I do keep thinking about how easy it was to set up my Etsy Shop. Maybe I’m going about this the wrong way? We’ll see soon enough.

Squared Plate Samples
Here’s another sample…these beauties will be on the website by the end of the day.
Dinnerware Sampling
Here are a couple of photos of a recent dinnerware order. I’ll be shooting some more images of the gas firing today and tonight and get them up to the website. In the meantime, don’t forget to check out my Etsy Store for the new earthenware.
Alive on Etsy
I’ve put most of my new earthenware on my new little webstore on Etsy. I hope you’ll take a look.
The Giant Jackalope of Austin
I forgot to post this picture from our Austin trip a few weeks ago.
A friend from the Skidmore ceramics studio lives in Austin and works at Blue Genie, the force behind this Jackalope. The company can make just about anything with their 3-d scanner, computer software and router which can cut anything out of foam that the computer tells it to. It was a pretty cool place for the kids….and us….to get to see.

Before & After
The photo hasn’t been color corrected so the celadon isn’t all gray as it looks like here. I’m very happy with the firing….lot’s of ideas of where to go next. Most of it has to do with porcelain and white stoneware. I guess I better clean all of the red earthenware off of the wheels and tables.
