One of a Kind Update, and a presentation on Intuitive Woodfiring
If you are in the Toronto area, come and visit us at the One of a Kind Show, being held at the Direct Energy Centre, until Sunday December 6th. We are booth E22.
On Monday December 7th, at 7:30pm at the Carnegie Gallery in Dundas Ontario, we will be giving a presentation on Intuitive Woodfiring "our way". We will be discussing our method of firing our 27 foot long "Little River Anagama" without glaze, cones or pyrometers, as well as the evolution of our process, Lee's early experiences building the first incarnation of the hikarigama, the renovation of the anagama last spring, the influence of Shiho Kanzaki on our work, and the construction of our new "Bourrigama" which we completed in November 2009. We will be showing some photos, and a selection of our unglazed, natural-ash ceramics in the flesh! We will also be sharing some excerpts from Claude Gagnon's excellent documentary on Shiho Kanzaki (featuring Lee!).
Come and join us if you have the chance. We'd love to see you there. Refreshments will be served!

Greetings,
All the leaves are gone, and cold has crept in. Our home fires are burning and so are our kiln fires, and we are busy cooking up some wonderful new natural-ash glazed ceramics in time for the Holiday Season.
Many of you may already know that we have now moved to our new strawbale solar-powered cottage in South Knowlesville, New Brunswick, and the construction of our new kiln, a Bourrigama, is complete. We fired it a few days ago…and we're gearing up to fire once again, tomorrow, and then a third time a few days later so we have enough work for the One of a Kind Show in Toronto, which opens on November 26th.
The results of the first firing were very heartening, (and in the case of many pieces, sublime!) and we are confident that after a bit of tweaking and adjustments, our new kiln will fire like a dream.

Kiln-Building Party!
Hello Everyone,
Today is Horus' first birthday, and we are having a kiln-building party at our new home and kiln-site in Knowlesville, NB. We are hoping to fire our new kiln very soon, a bourry-box with a Clark twist.
I am also working on this site, but as you can see, it's not quite there yet. Within the next week, we will have more work posted and priced, in time for the gift-giving season.
Thank you for all the messages and questions--your interest is much-appreciated.
Feel free to query me for information on particular pieces, or additional photos.
Sincerely,
Yolande, Lee & Horus
