kiln each and every day. It was a week of Christmas mornings! We all tested glazes and tried out ideas
with the most amazing array of supplies — including some hard-to-find frits and seeding materials
that Kris made available to everyone. The results all week were stunning, as we exchanged recipes,
tried new things and pushed the limits of crystals together.

On the last day, Kris brought in an awesome photographer from L.A., who did a very interesting
shoot on black-glass. (see www.sarahholdenphotography.com ) Sara
worked all day taking pictures of 250 of our favorite pots of the week,
also showing us her techniques! Everyone was so open and giving, all
working together and sharing the excitement of new discoveries. In
fact, we’ve maintained an email list and continue to do so. One evening,
I had the added delight of being invited along to visit Ingred and Fred
Olsen (The Kiln Book) for dinner. What an incredible setting they
have high tn the hills over Palm Springs for their home and studio—an
anagama with a breathtaking view—and their collection of pots, of
course, was simply outstanding. Another high point of my week.

The good news 1s: they’re already discussing the venue for our
next get-together! Diane Creber suggested that we should arrange
an event around a group show, including a historical perspective on
crystals alongside the newest works of this small band of crystalline
enthusiasts. Stay tuned! ca
