Well this is the first of my weekly blogs. this morning I heard the news of what will be allowed on the META platforms and I was beyond shocked. The fact that this company is allowing and promoting hate speech is despicable. I am aware that those policies are not in place in Canada but the reality is being on those platforms is accepting that level of hate and intolerance. Yes, it can be said staying on those platforms and denouncing the hate speech might work but the reality is they only care about the money.
Enough said about what is going on to the south of us. I have been busy in the studio getting my inventory back up. I have a full load of sippers and mugs in the kiln ready for the bisque fire. I just finished throwing twenty butter bells and next up is French butter crocks. I will them move on to cream and sugar sets, garlic keepers and some larger storage jars. I have a great system in place now and if it all goes well with no interruptions, like Norovirus after Christmas, I should have everything made before my first markets in April.
I also have some new plates under construction and I hope to have examples of them at my markets this spring in summer. I do not bring full sets to the markets but they will be up on the website soon. If you are interested you can email me for more information. I am also testing some new glazes for these plates.
