First, a quick note about the previous photos (posted 6/27) of the kiln built at Old Salem during the recent ALHFAM conference: the whole structure was probably only about 4 feet tall. Maybe a little more or a little less. Not sure how long it was. Of course, I didn’t measure it, but it wasn’t [...]

As I mentioned previously, the pots (all redware) were stacked, then a brick kiln was built up around them.

A street fair is held annually down on the main street in my neighborhood. I don’t necessarily go every year, but this past weekend I needed a few things from the grocery, the fair was in full swing, and so I ended up in the midst of it all. Naturally, there were vendors selling everything [...]
