David,
I am also working on something via a ceramic orginization here in the USA that I am on the Board of Directors of.
What an awful mess. Heartbreaking.
best,
...............john
PS: I am assuming that Nara only got a bit of "a shake" out of this?

Re: David Morrison Pike. Wood fired ceramics.
For those of you makers on TC, if you wish to donate work for auction to help Japan, Ayuni Horie is coordinating a nationwide event to help raise funds. She can be reached at ayumihorie@gmail.com or through her web site http://www.ayumihorie.com.
I will be making multiple donations is this effort to, in some small way, ease the suffering of the people in Japan during these very trying times.
I kindly ask you to please do what you can to help.
Best wishes from Boston,
Rob

Re: David Morrison Pike. Wood fired ceramics.
Here are some pictures of some work I am getting ready for my Etsy page. They are from the last firing of my large kiln. I am in the process of cleaning out my kiln for the next firing and so am finally unloading the last of the work and going through it. These pieces are made from a clay that looks like basalt rock. Light but very rough looking.
Re: David Morrison Pike. Wood fired ceramics.
I just started firing my kiln and will be updating it on my blog. If anyone would like to take a look please see http://wp.me/p6ult-23q

Bummer, that had to "hurt." Nice explosion on the last photo, I forget what that is called? But nice spider legs.
Re: David Morrison Pike. Wood fired ceramics.
I have gotten about 3/4 of my last firing unloaded and cleaned. Here are 5 pictures of bowls from the firing.
