Another Potters Tour,  It was fun,  A lot of friends stopped by, It was great having Bryce Hemington in the studio throwing pottery,  I invited my friend Kyle Houser to the tour next year. I hope he says yes. I met a few other IUP grad students and along with Bryce we have made a  plan to fire the wood kiln and maybe even get that fast fire kiln done that I started last year. Here are a few pics from the Tour
