Charles Lisk Pottery Kiln Opening

Yesterday there was an overly impressive turnout for a Charlie Lisk kiln opening. He had done swirl for the first time in more than a decade. Word had spread, so there were a lot of people there. More people than pots so a number of collectors went home empty-handed. There were about 20 half gallon swirl pieces. Also a number of small faces and mini faces and The “tripod” pig family and went second or third pick. Thanks to Brian Dedmond for comments which I incorporated here.

Kim Ellington Catawba Valley Pottery Kiln Opening

Thanks Brian for sharing these pictures from this past weekend.  The swirl is of particular note since it has been a decade or more since Kim has turned swirl.  Also a bonus 3 face jugs were offered.  One pictured before on southernpotsblog was featured last night.

Hart Square Kim Ellington Catawba Valley Pottery Face Jug

Kim had a great sale on this past Saturday. He fired swirl for the first time in maybe 15-20 years in the Hart Square Kiln. Huge crowd. I’ll post some pictures of the pots when Brian forwards them to me. But I will post this picture of 1/3 face jugs that were at the sale. Great face jug by Kim!
