Our group Old Plank Road recorded some videos with high quality recording yesterday:
Keep a Light in your Window Tonight
Rock about my Saro Jane
Make me a pallet on your floor
The Covered wagon rolled right along

This
month has been in the deep freeze, with few thaws and little snow, so a
lot of blah. Last week I decided to keep track of my pottery
hours. I often get asked how much time I spend in the studio, and
since I don't punch a time clock, I didn't know. I do know I work
6 days/week even though only part days.
Throw pots 7.75 hrs
Trim, add handles and feet 8.5 hrs
Load, unload kilns, clean up and price pots 3.5 hours
Glaze 4.75 hours
Reclaim scrap .5 hours
25
hours total 222 pots made. It amounts to 8.8 pots produced per
hour. The pots vary in price quite a bit so it's hard to say what
that makes my hourly wage... It also doesn't include time spent
on sales, which is primarily putting the pots out on display as I am
set up for self-service...
This same last week I had time to edit
and select from about 1000 photos from the Fall Folk Festival,
and make several webpages of them and a video sampler. This makes
sense since I'm only working 25 hour weeks...
Fall Folk Festival photos and video sampler are up on the Folklore Society website...
