Laurie Jean,

Your comment was most apropos to my current situation. I am in the =
process of making pots for my first art festival. The pots wont' be =
finished till spring due to the snow pilling up outside (I Raku and =
Black fire). I pondered what year to put on them 2003 or 2004? Will it =
make a difference to my customers when the piece was made? Should I put =
the date the pots were thrown or built or should I put the date they =
will actually be glazed fired and finished? Should I just stop worrying =
about it and make pots?=20
Peace and Happy Holidays,
Allyson May
