Tonight is the first notably cold night of the season here in the Bay Area. I'm sitting, composing this post, toasty and warm inside. Venturing outdoors periodically to check on my first firing of a gas kiln I've adopted, tuned up and put into service. I've returned to the art and craft of ceramics after about a 25 year break. Doing a cone 04 bisque firing and waiting for the thing to get up to about 1945ºF. I fell in love with creating high fire stoneware right about the same time I decided to pursue photography professionally. I mean, who could make a living in pottery? Photography was surely way more practical. . . lolz. . . But god damn, its actually worked out alright!

Now I have the time and space and desire to return to the mud. I think I've grown weary of this modern life we're livin. There are a thousand reasons why this feels so right, right now. I'll undoubtedly write more on this in the future. But for now, enjoy this second set of Anna Lisa Wagner from the second studio, the soon to be vacant second studio, as progress keeps progressing. If you happen to know anyone in the Bay who's looking for a super dope spot to live and work, have them drop me a line. It can be seen here for now: silver.oakland

It just occurred to me that there's not a single damned photo from this set I can post on Instagram. . . oh well, fuck Meta.
