Laurie’s been the driving motivation for Pablo and I getting to the iron pours. Friday was apparently her first time manning a kiln, and in the afters, we had been talking about getting her pics from the evening. The email I found from her this morning really surprised me.

Peter, if you'd like a tour of MassArt sometime I'd be happy to show you around. I used to do a lot of ceramics before I went to MassArt... now I'm am trying to focus my energy primarily on metal (you can't do EVERYTHING, even though I sure as hell try). I did take a tableware class with Ben Ryterband last semester so I am pretty familiar with MassArt's ceramics facilities, plus I know a lot of ceramics majors [...]
