Dear Tea & Sake Aficionados;

Posted here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/claycraft/ are some of
my recent pieces (which I will be adding to over the next couple of
weeks) from the 25th anniversary firing of the East Creek anagama.
The firing at Nils' kiln was sweet. A great crew led by Don Hoskisson
and 'fire boss' Cindy Hoskisson, aided by Maya Hoskisson and her
sister Brittney, and with many fine folk from around the Willamette
Valley, including Mark Heimann, Mark Terry, Andrew Butterfield, Amy
Burnham, Lee Kitzman, Jason Laney, James Duckworth, Kate Gilmour,
Nils & Diane Lou, Andrea Peyton, Ashley Best, Burkhardt Kleiber, Jim
Laub, and James Busby....... unless I left someone out.

Enjoy, Hank in Eugene

Well then, you can imagine how glad I would be to show up in my
blazer and fancy duds. However, I am saving my energy and my $$ for
another anagama firing at jewel creek in June, and a two month trip
to Japan to fire two anagamas there during Oct/Nov. Then the Tom Rohr
Memorial anagama firing at Pleasant Hill Pottery between Christmas
and New Years, for which many will be arriving from all over.

In between I will be getting back to the studio to stock my shelves
again and fire some racers as gifts for the trip, and rest my mind
after a year of too many deaths close to us.

I will miss you, so give each other hugs!

Hank: You are indeed a very busy boy. NCECA's loss will be Japan's gain! I
look forward to stoking with you in Taku. I'll be arriving via ferry from
Pusan, having had my share of Gim-chi and Bebimbap. See you in Taku.
Many kilns, one fire!!
